Marathon Swim
Each year Island Marathon takes place in Manhattan. All volunteers can attempt a 28,5 mile sprint through the waters of the Hudson River on June 16, 2007.
<br>The Manhattan Island Foundation has two goals: to support and expand public Learn-to-Swim programs throughout New York City, particularly those that serve at-risk youth; and to raise public awareness of the waters that surround New York by supporting efforts to clean and protect them. Thanks to the Foundation, more than 40,000 city children have learned to swim in the last 12 years.
