Registration will be held on Saturday, March 28 at noon NY time, using Runsignup.com. The first 120 people to complete the process will be accepted. Registration is $200 plus the Runsignup fee. Your credit card will be necessary for the registration fee. Each swimmer has a $500 minimum fundraising obligation. Any swimmer who has not met this goal by August 31 will have their card charged.
This year we plan to employ a limited-time wait list administered by Runsignup. More details will be released in the future
The swimmer registration website is https://runsignup.com/greatsouthbayswim
Each kayaker must register separately at https://runsignup.com/kayakregistration
Every swimmer is required to have a competent kayaker in accompaniment. Only single-person kayaks are permitted. We will not allow two-person kayaks. We emphasize the importance of having an experienced and knowledgeable kayaker.
Any swimmer who does not have a kayaker registered on June 6 forfeits his/her registration including the fee, and their entry in The Swim will be deleted. We strongly encourage kayakers to complete their applications on March 28. Swimmers, please note that the tee shirt you enter for your kayaker during registration is the tee shirt that will be ordered.
The changes we make each year are meant to enhance the safety of our event and minimize the amount of clerical work required to run this event. We are a small committee of volunteers blessed by an extraordinarily wonderful group of athletes who are generous and thoughtful in keeping the traditions of this event alive. For that, we are ever grateful. Together we work to keep the Cross Bay Swim a safe and enduring tradition and an asset to our community in many ways. Thank you for your cooperation!
