Registration for the Buzzards Bay Coalition’s 22^nd annual Buzzards Bay Swim is free now until April 1. Sign up online at www.savebuzzardsbay.org/swim.

The Buzzards Bay Swim is a fun community event that supports a great cause: clean water in Buzzards Bay. Swimmers complete a 1.2-mile open water course across outer New Bedford Harbor, beginning in the South End of New Bedford and ending at Fort Phoenix Beach State Reservation in Fairhaven on Saturday, June 20.

The swim draws participants of every age, ability and fitness level. Some swimmers form teams with their friends, families and fellow swim team members. More than 300 swimmers are expected to participate this year, hailing from communities across southeastern New England and around the United States.

All funds raised from the Buzzards Bay Swim support the Coalition’s work to protect clean water in communities across the Buzzards Bay region, from Westport to Woods Hole.
