Swim Across America in Larchmont

The popular annual event again draws crowds to the water in Larchmont.

Swimmers and kayakers flocked to Larchmont Saturday for the annual Swim Across America Long Island Sound Swim to raise money to fight cancer.

The popular fundraising event has grown substantially since its beginning in 1992.

"Our first year we had 35 swimmers and raised $15,000," the organization says. "In 2009 we had over 700 swimmers and raised over $880,000."
