Maggie Fischer Memorial Great South Bay Cross Bay Swim

One of the great summer event that happens on both side of the Great South Bay happens this year on July 11. The Maggie Fischer Memorial Cross Bay Swim begins bayside at Fire Island Lighthouse at 7 a.m. sharp. From there, 130 swimmers and their kayak escorts will make the 5.6 mile journey across the Great South Bay to finish in Gilbert Park in Brightwaters Village. Proceeds benefit the Hospice Care Network Chil- dren’s and Family Bereavement Pro- gram, and a scholarship fund in Maggie Fischer’s memory.
