Welcome to the Hudson River Swim for Life! I am proud and honored that you have chosen this event to participate in. The challenge is real and the rewards are life long. The Hudson River is the most beautiful body of water on the east coast and possibly in North America.
We have a remarkable team of volunteers and staff who are there to support you with all of your training needs and concerns. Furthermore, we have all made a conscious decision to raise much needed funds to support blood cancer research and to provide quality patient education and services.

Dennis,
I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to be involved in such an event.
I watched the swim in 2007 and decided at that point to get involved in Team in Training.  Let me say that being involved in the process was even better than watching it. The swim was challenging this year but that only added to the excitement. I am already looking forward to next year. I was great meeting you and all of the people on your staff. Team in Training is an excellent organization for folks of all levels of experience. If someone has stumbled into this website and is wondering if this is the event for them, the answer is a resounding YES!!!

This year's swim definitely was more challenging than the other seven  I have done (although 2001, which was my first was also rough).  The river is an even changing body of water and we have no control over the currents so each year is a unique experience.  I'm happy that we had the opportunity to even swim as scheduled considering the fact that hurricane Hanna's aftermath was a factor.  KUDOS to everyone who helped organize an event of this magnitude. I can't wait until next year's swim!
