People of all ages (7 to 86 years old) have completed this fun event, and so can YOU! This community event is for FUN, and you do not need to be fast or any kind of a serious swimmer or athlete! The feeling of accomplishment when you crawl out on the beach is AWESOME!

Message from Eric Ridgway, Founder and Director

Thank you so much for all of your enthusiastic encouragement of this event year after year. The 2007 Long Bridge Swim was a splashing success! Please remember to thank our community volunteers and business sponsors whenever you see them. Without them, we couldn't have all of the fun of doing this crazy swim!
