Governors Island Swim 2010

I was on Governors Island yesterday for the City of Water Day festival (and to scout out the water before the swim). It was beautiful (although hot) and exciting to think about swimming there next week. Now I am definitely fired up (and a little nervous)! The NYCSwim website now has this update: Important Instructions The special ferry to Governors Island departs from the Battery Maritime Building at the corner of South and Whitehall Streets at approximately 6:45 AM the morning of the race. Swimmer check-in will take place at the ferry terminal from 5:45 to 6:30 AM. Please allow ample time to arrive at the ferry terminal — if you miss this ferry, you will miss the race. That's the Governors Island Ferry -- its to the left of the Staten Island Ferry (for pedestrian navigation). Its a few minutes walk from the Bowling Green subway (maybe less when there aren't 10 million people on the sidewalk.)
