Coveleigh Pool Swim

About the race

The Coveleigh Pool Swim is more than just a lap event; it is a powerful community gathering hosted at the historic Coveleigh Club in Rye, New York. As part of the prestigious Swim Across America (SAA) series, this event embodies a spirit of collective purpose, where swimmers of all ages and abilities unite to raise vital funds for cancer research and patient programs. Since its inception in 1987, SAA has channeled the passion of the swimming community into over $150 million in donations, and the Coveleigh event remains a shining example of this commitment in the heart of Westchester County.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Rye, a coastal city known for its maritime charm and vibrant community life, the Coveleigh Club provides an intimate and welcoming venue.

Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a first-time participant, the camaraderie at the pool deck is palpable, fueled by stories of survivors and the shared dedication to scientific progress.

Beyond the physical challenge, the Coveleigh Pool Swim is a celebration of hope. The event structure is designed to be inclusive, making it an excellent choice for families wanting to give back together.
