There are so many charity organizations and they are all worthwhile to know about and to support. One such organization is called Swim Across America and their goal is to create swim events to raise money for cancer research. It costs about $50,000 to $100,000 to operate a safe and fun swim experience. After those expenses, they award 70-85% of the gross revenue from the swim as a grant to research, clinical trials and other purposes.
Right now in Colorado, for instance, they are having an open-water clinic coached by former Olympic bronze medalist Susan Williams. It will take place in Chatfield Gravel Ponds in Littleton, Colorado.
