An open water swim in Provincetown Harbor to benefit AIDS, women’s health & the community. It’s raised $6.5M since 1988. The weekend includes the Celebration of Life Concert, Mermaid Brunch and an Awards Ceremony. Music by Zoe Lewis.
After thirty-one years swimming across Provincetown Harbor from Long Point to the Boatslip, the annual Swim for Life & Paddler Flotilla is changing course. The appearance of white sharks due to the increased seal population has created concern for swimmer safety in the deep waters off Long Point. For this reason, the course of this important Provincetown tradition and fundraiser will move closer to the town’s shoreline. Walkers will be invited to participate as well.
ADMISSION INFO
Swimmers, kayakers and others raise pledges for the beneficiaries. The Celebration of Life Concert on Friday, September 6 and the Swim event and Mermaid Brunch on September 7 are open to the public.

Thanks to all who have been part of this quentissential Provincetown tradition.
The Swim has learned over the years that creating and nurturing community is its grandest offering. Since 1988 it has raised over $6.5M for year round services and community well being.
This year's t-shirt by Vicky Tomayko is a simple and stunning symbol of the fragility of our environment and the frog’s shape shifting evolution from water to land, reflecting on the transformation of the natural and civic environment in direct and dramatic ways.
Take the Plunge!
