Usually we swim alongside a coastline, sometimes around islands, but rarely do we get to cross a channel. This is your chance to swim your way across the East River between Brooklyn and Manhattan, in the shadow of the most famous bridge in the world. To add to the allure, teams from Brooklyn and Manhattan will compete in the Battle of the Bridge. Want to know how you can apply to be on one of the teams? Check out our Battle FAQ for details.

Start: Brooklyn Bridge Park
Finish: East River Park - Dover Street/South Street
