Swimmers and paddlers glide and bob in a pelotón as the Swim for Life begins.

 

Swim founder Jay Critchley reported this week that the goal of raising $200,000 had been met. The funds raised support mainly health-care and health advocacy organizations, including the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, Outer Cape Health Services, and Helping Our Women, and also the Native Land Conservancy.

 

Prayer flags, a big tent, and a warm welcome await swimmers at the end of the 1.2-mile swim.

 

Waterfront dwellers cheer on the swimmers.
