The crossing

Mid-Hudson Bridge ↔ Newburgh-Beacon Bridge: 20.8 km between start and finish coasts. Our archive contains 108 crossings by swimmers from 9 countries.

Distance is the shortest straight line between the start and finish coastal stretches, not the GPS track length: currents cause swimmers to cover much more distance.
