Maggie Fischer Memorial Cross Bay Swim

The Cross Bay Swim is a challenging open water event that spans Great South Bay, beginning at Fire Island Lighthouse and concluding at Gilbert Park, Brightwaters. Established in 1927, it has a longstanding tradition of friendly competition. Participation is limited, and swimmers are required to engage in charitable fundraising, benefiting the Hospice Care Network Children and Family Bereavement program and a scholarship at St. Anthony's High School.
