**************** Not sure how many people will need. The first 15 for sure. Probably 20. If more people that qualify have signed up than needed, I'll more people to the waitlist in the order they signed up. **************** Swim support - Advanced Level - 13 mile round trip

Our original and biggest swim support! We will be guiding swimmers from the WTC to Liberty Island. Right after we'll do a second round with another set of swimmers from Liberty Island to WTC. That means we will paddle for 11.5 miles without landing!

4.5 miles of this paddle will be just you paddling alone and guiding your swimmer across the Hudson River.
