Attached our several of our ABC 2 News interviews with this year's Swim Across America: Baltimore participants, conducted live from Meadowbrook Aquatic Center in Mt. Washington.

Always an inspiring event, this year marks a milestone for the Charm City event as in year 3 the total funds raised for the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center (SKCCC) at Johns Hopkins are now expected to exceed 1 million dollars. 

Outstanding job by all participants, and good luck swimming on Sunday!
