Orienta Beach Club Pool Swim

About the race

The Orienta Beach Club Pool Swim is more than just a competitive event; it is a powerful community gathering held in the historic and picturesque setting of Mamaroneck, New York. Hosted at the prestigious Orienta Beach Club, this event is a vital pillar of the Swim Across America (SAA) mission, which has successfully raised over $150 million since its founding in 1987 to fund groundbreaking cancer research and patient programs. Participants are not just swimming laps; they are part of a nationwide movement of 'WaveMakers' committed to fighting a disease that touches nearly every family.

What makes this event particularly special is its inclusive, family-friendly atmosphere. By utilizing the club's pool facilities, the event welcomes swimmers of all ages and abilities, creating a supportive environment where seasoned athletes and casual enthusiasts can stand together for a cause. The spirit of camaraderie here is palpable, as teams and individuals gather to celebrate hope, honor survivors, and remember those lost to cancer. The event draws a dedicated local following from the Westchester County area, fostering a unique sense of community pride and collective impact.

Beyond the water, Mamaroneck offers a beautiful backdrop along the Long Island Sound, known for its serene coastal views and rich maritime history. Whether you are a local resident or visiting for the weekend, the event provides a perfect opportunity to connect with fellow swimmers who share your passion for both the sport and philanthropy. After completing your laps, the area invites you to relax and soak in the coastal charm.
