CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Mark your calendars folks, because the 8th annual Swim Across America – Charlotte charity event is right around the corner! On Sunday, October 6, 2024, join your neighbors and friends at Camp Thunderbird YMCA, located on the beautiful shores of Lake Wylie. This isn’t just another swim; it’s a chance to make a splash for a great cause!
Swim for a Purpose
Whether you’re an experienced swimmer or just want to wade through the water, there are options for everyone! This exciting event features three swim distances: a half-mile, a one-mile, and a two-mile course. So gather your family, friends, or coworkers and dive in to support cancer research and patient care.
How You Can Get Involved

Every dollar raised goes a long way in helping local beneficiaries like the Levine Cancer Institute and Levine Children’s Hospital. Your contributions help fund groundbreaking cancer clinical trials and provide crucial resources for patients and their families in our community.
