The Return of ‘Swim for Life’

The 34th Provincetown Swim for Life and Paddler Flotilla will be held at high tide, 3 p.m., on Saturday, September 11th. Sponsored by the Provincetown Community Compact, swimmers, kayakers, and boaters will follow a new harbor route starting from the beach at Snail Road in the East End and ending near MacMillan Wharf at the new East End Waterfront Park. It will be followed by a post-swim Mermaid Tea.

This year’s T-shirt artist is Jim Youngerman, a longtime Swim for Life participant from Lenox. “The Swim and the community made waves in response to HIV/AIDS,” says Compact Director Jay Critchley, “and now we have a renewed mission to strengthen our resilience as we act to create a more diverse and equitable future.” Registration is open at swim4life.org.
