Lady Liberty Sharkfest Swim

Sharks in New York Harbor? You can bet there will be this summer when several hundred swimmers (aka, sharks) descend there. What could be more sensational than swimming in the waters off the iconic Statue of Liberty? The swim will start just outside the security zone of Liberty Island and will go past the historic Ellis Island to finish at the south cove of Battery Park City with a view of the new Freedom Tower in the background.
