The Finger Lakes Open Water Swim Festival is a 6 or 12 mile swim event in the beautiful mountains and famous lakes, of up-state New York.

The race is near the quaint town of Watkins Glen, and is surrounded by majestic pine forests, spectacular waterfalls and lots of wineries and micro-breweries.

The swim festival is held in the crystal clear water of Seneca Lake, in the Watkins Glen State Park and just outside this beautiful little town only a few minutes from Ithaca, NY.
