About this race

URBAN DIP is a pop-up swimming experience that gives New Yorkers a chance to safely enter the waterways that surround us.

For a limited time, at a selected waterfront location, URBANSWIM creates a temporary swim zone with access infrastructure, lifeguards, safety systems, and a community of people ready to take the plunge.

It’s swimming. It’s NYC. It’s not like anything else.

And it’s a glimpse of what New York could look like if swimming in our waterways became normal.
