I'm entered in the Governors Island swim this coming August 1. I was wondering if anyone out there has swum this event before and can offer tips and/or pointers. I'm most concerned about how the heck to get to Governors Island and, of course, the conditions.
Here's the response to my e-mail from Hannah at NYC Swim. I must say, I was impressed with the timeliness of Hannah's reply.
"We are still working out final details, so some of the information is subject to change. Most likely, we will be going to the island on a ferry at 6:30 a.m. from either South Street Seaport or Whitehall Terminal a bit south. We expect to be able to accommodate guests on the ferry in addition to swimmers."
