NEW YORK, June 6. THE 22nd Manhattan Island Marathon Swim \u2013 an annual, 28.5-mile swim around Manhattan \u2013 is one of the world\u2019s premier long-distance, open-water swimming events. The 22nd annual Manhattan Island Marathon Swim will take place Saturday, June 14. <\/p>\n
More than 100 volunteers are needed to help this year\u2019s field of international swimmers travel safely and smoothly around the Island. Volunteers are needed to assist with morning boat coordination and swimmer registration, operate the swim\u2019s command center in Battery Park, serve as boat officials (a unique opportunity to board a swimmer\u2019s support boat and spend the day traveling around Manhattan) and staff the closing ceremonies. <\/p>\n
There will be one brief orientation session for volunteers the week of June 9. All volunteers will receive a Manhattan Island Marathon t-shirt and are invited to the post-swim party at the 79th Street Boat Basin. <\/p>\n
