The Official NYC SEAL Swim is a premier Hudson River Swim built around endurance, leadership, resilience, and service. Founded by Bill Brown, the event continues attracting swimmers and supporters who want to participate in something larger than a traditional swim.

The NYC SEAL Swim 2026 supports organizations serving Navy SEALs, veterans, and first responders while also raising awareness around leadership and continued service beyond military careers.

Participants are encouraged to begin training early and prepare for the realities of open water endurance swimming.

Swimmers can complete qualification requirements through official screening swim opportunities or approved endurance swim credentials.
