Swim Across America - Fairfield County is holding its 18th annual open water swim on June 29, 2024, to make waves to fight cancer and has two new additions this year: a Kids’ Splash for children up to age 11 and a High School Cup Challenge for local high school swim, dive and water polo teams. The event includes three swim lengths for ages 12-84: a half-mile, 1.5-mile, and 3-mile swim. Funds raised support Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy, based in Stamford, Connecticut. Swimmers, boaters, kayakers, paddle boarders, and volunteers can register for this inspirational event at swimacrossamerica.org/fc.
