What is Urban Swim?

Urban Swim is an organization dedicated to providing people with safe access to clean water.

We stage open water swim events in urban areas as a means of fostering a relationship between people and water.  Our events introduce people to the recreational possibilities of their local waterways, and in so doing, raise their awareness of water quality issues.

Our activities in support of safe access to clean water are not limited to our open water swim events.  We are also actively involved in other initiatives including dock sharing, water testing, free kayaking programs, support of other open water swim events, partnerships, and political advocacy.
