The Buzzards Bay Coalition has opened registration for its 19th Annual Buzzards Bay Swim to take place on July 7. The Buzzards Bay Swim is the Bay Coalition’s longest-running fundraising event and is a fantastic way to enjoy the Bay while contributing to its protection.
Each year swimmers participate in a 1.2 mile open-water swim across outer New Bedford Harbor. With great support and clean, clear water, the Swim draws a wide range of participants, including serious competitors, first-timers, families, teams, and everyone in between. Participants can take advantage of free registration through April 15 at www.savebuzzardsbay.org/Swim.
Hundreds of swimmers, volunteers and supporters have made this event a success for the past 18 years, and as the waters of New Bedford Harbor get cleaner and clearer, more and more people come out to swim. The swim is a great way to enjoy the Bay while helping to keep this precious resource clean and healthy. Don’t delay, register today.
The Buzzards Bay Swim is the largest annual fundraising event held by Buzzards Bay Coalition, a non-profit, community-based organization dedicated to the restoration, protection, and sustainable use and enjoyment of the Bay and its watershed. Funds raised are used to support the critical work that the organization does, such as monitoring and reducing pollution in the Bay’s harbors and coves, and accelerating permanent land preservation efforts, and educating citizens throughout the Buzzards Bay watershed.
