The marathon has seen upwards of 190 swimmers and 100 boaters participate in this one day swimming event from Whitehall Beach in Port Jefferson, NY to Captain’s Cove Seaport in Bridgeport, CT. The journey measures 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) and can take anywhere from 5.5 hours to over 10 hours to complete. It’s truly an amazing accomplishment for a wonderful cause!
