Course

See the 20 Bridges page for a course description and maps, and then add a second loop. Be aware that during the second lap, you will face an opposing current when you enter the Harlem River.

Fees

$8,500 per solo; $7,000 for 25 years-old and under; $4,250 per swimmer (maximum 2 swimmers) tandem.

Entry fees include a designated support boat, kayak/kayaker, observer, and GPS tracking. Swimmers are requested to bring one or two (max.) crew persons older than 16 years to support them from their escort boat. Operation expenses have increased considerably this season. This is reflected by the higher entry fees.

Withdrawal Policy:

* Withdrawal before April 15: swimmer gets a full refund minus a $500 processing fee.
* Withdrawal after April 15: If their swim spot can be filled, swimmer will be refunded entire fee minus $750. However, if their swim spot cannot be filled the swimmer will not be refunded.
* Withdrawal 14 days prior to event day: No refunds
