What does it take to earn your place in the Official 2026 NYC SEAL Swim?

We take you inside one of the official swim qualifiers, where participants demonstrate they have the skills and endurance needed to safely take on one of the nation’s most unique open-water events.

Participants share why they signed up to stand alongside Navy SEALs, veterans, first responders, and active-duty military while supporting organizations that help America’s heroes continue their mission after service.
