Join us for the 37th Provincetown Swim for Life & Paddler Flotilla on September 7, 2024 at 2:30 pm in Provincetown Harbor (high tide is 3:00 pm!) and Wellfleet’s Great Pond, 9:00 am

The Swim for Life’s essence embodies Provincetown as a place of healing and compassion. We celebrate our community as one that not only cares about our local health and well-being, but also about Planet Earth, which faces unparalleled environmental challenges. Provincetown is a spiritual home to people across the globe. A place of hope and promise. Swimmers have come from France, Bulgaria, Australia, Mexico, Spain, UK, Canada and beyond to our healing waters.

We acknowledge and honor the ancestral Lands of the Wampanoag Tribal Nation that we inhabit.and include the Native Land Conservancy as one of the beneficiaries of the Swim.

For those unable to stay overnight, you might consider a daytrip on Bay State Cruises’ fast ferry! Thank you Bay State Cruises for being a longtime Swim sponsor.
