Hudson River Swim
5th Annual River Swim
on
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008
The Swim is a wonderful opportunity for experienced swimmers to swim about one mile (72 lengths of a standard 25 yard pool) across the Hudson River while raising funds to benefit the non-profit volunteer organization River Pool at Beacon.
We will start at The Newburgh Waterfront and finish at The Beacon Waterfront.
Water quality report
The greatest concern that people have about swimming in the Hudson is that the water is not clean. That's not a problem here, our five years of testing show. Read our report to learn more about how clean the water really is.

River Pool
Opens in 2007
The design of the partially submerged pool is environmentally sensitive and makes for a safe wading area that protects bathers from boaters and currents. With a permeable floor and sides that work as a below-water fence, the twenty-foot diameter wading pool allows river water to flow through it. The entire structure is supported by floating fiberglass seats in rainbow colors.
The pool is free and open to the public.
River Pool is a non-profit volunteer organization. To help with this project Please Join Us!
Much of the Hudson River is clean enough to swim in and we are working to keep it that way.
