A Long Swim is a 501(c)(3) with the goal of using open water and marathon swimming to raise awareness and funds for collaborative ALS research. Our teams have swum the English Channel, Catalina Channel, the Ka’iwi Channel, and circumnavigated the Island of Manhattan. In addition to these successful open water marathon swims, we now sponsor triathletes across the United States.
