Volunteer swimmers from the New NY Bridge project team, including Project Director Peter Sanderson and Special Advisor to the Governor Brian Conybeare, were proud to participate in the event.
The Hudson River Swim for Life was a non-competitive one- mile swim along the shores of Kingsland Point Park in Sleepy Hollow. Swimmers conquered the river as kayakers and boaters provided safety assistance and support. For the past 23 years, Swim for Life has simultaneously promoted swimming as a lifelong form of fitness and raised funds for the ongoing research of blood cancers.
