About us

Swim the Apple was formed to promote swimming and the development of swimming facilities and structures in the waters of New York City. Swimming in the Harbor underscores the return of clean water, and provides support for efforts to further clean and protect the city's aquatic environment. Our activities include:

- free day and night swim trips to a variety of spots around Manhattan and the harbor

- providing testimony at City hearings and waterfront meetings

- slide presentations about swimming in New York

- identifying and indexing choice sites for creating beaches and swim access

Swim the Apple is a non-profit organization.
