Close to 600 hundred swimmers and volunteers participated in the 15th annual Swim Across America Seattle open water swim on Sept. 9 at Luther Burbank Park (South Swimming Beach) on Mercer Island. The swim was organized by national nonprofit Swim Across America to make waves in the fight against cancer — raising a massive $525,000 for the swim’s local beneficiary Fred Hutch Cancer Center. The Seattle swim was established in 2009 and has raised more than $5 million for Fred Hutch Cancer Center and funds early stage projects and cancer research with grants and money raised by the Seattle Swim Across America swim.
