I haven't seen anything posted about this race yet, and since there seems to be a few ultra-distance swimmers here, thought there would be some interest:

Basically it is a swim from Bridgeport, CT to Long Island, something like 15.5 miles (possibly more depending on currents and drifting).
We have a guy on my team doing it:

Mark is a really great guy. We've been swimming in the same lane ever since I switched to morning workouts, back in 2001. I can only imagine how much further he could have gone with swimming. He's definitely an inspriation to me and the rest of the team.
Our local Fox news was at practice this morning, getting some shots of him in and out of the water (I may be in the background). That should air tomorrow, and I'll update this thread with links as I have them.
