Welcome to the 2015 Maggie Fischer Memorial Cross Bay Swim - T-Minus 8 Months

Welcome to the 2015 Maggie Fischer Memorial Cross Bay Swim Forum! As winter approaches its time to start setting up for next year's swim. The 2014 swim was a great success.  As you train throughout the winter months we want you to once again focus your thoughts on a beautiful summer day on the Great South Bay. Blue skies, 80 degrees, calm seas and a light wind out of the south. Visualize an awesome sunrise to escort us across the bay for the start. Think about seeing old friends and making some new ones. At the start there will be close to 100 swimmers that have worked just as hard as you to be there for one incredible day. A few will have traveled from great distances and some will be no stranger to the bay and the task in front of them. Others will be looking across for their first attempt. At the 5 mile mark imagine passing the beautiful Sigrid with its tall mast showing the way to the finish as you hear all of your family and friends that have gathered at Gilbert Park to cheer the swimmers in. The last 1/4 mile will never be in doubt as you feel the excitement carry you to the shore. The crowd will get louder and louder until you can see the bottom of the bay rising up to meet you. Finally you can put your feet down and savor the final yards of your journey across the amazing Great South Bay! The date will be published soon as the swim committee is already busy looking at the tides in order to find the most suitable date. Please check back soon for the next update and until then remember to "Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming Swimming Swimming!!!
