A Fundraising Event
By obtaining donations, swimmers help Swim Across the Sound raise funds to provide cancer patients and their families with programs and support. Thanks to the swimmers, boaters, donors and event sponsors, the Swim is able to assist these families at a time when they need to focus on their health and well-being.
For swimmers who may need fundraising support, please call 475-210-7308.
For the Public
Members of the public are invited to join the fun at Captain’s Cove, located at One Bostwick Avenue in the historic Black Rock section of Bridgeport, and cheer on the swimmers as they cross the finish line.
As the swimmers finish, Captain’s Cove Seaport is alive with music, entertainment and a children’s activity area; the boardwalk shops and restaurant will also be open. The swimmers start to arrive at the finish at approximately 2:30 p.m., depending on the weather, and will continue crossing the finish line until 6:30 p.m. An awards ceremony takes place shortly after all the swimmers have arrived at Captain’s Cove.
For more information about how you can get involved, please call 203-576-5451.
