About The Great Chesapeake Bay Swim

Founded on June 13, 1982 by then Towson University student athlete, Brian Joseph Earley, as a tribute to his father who suffered from diabetes, the 4.4 mile Great Chesapeake Bay Swim is a Maryland tradition and one of the most sought after open water swims in the United States. Under the leadership of Charles Nabit, Race Director since 1992, the event has raised over $1.5 million for the Maryland Chapter of the March of Dimes and other GCBS charities. In addition to raising money, it raises public awareness of the charitable causes, which it supports, and instills tremendous feelings of empowerment among participants. For many, the swim is a life–changing experience. The Great Chesapeake Bay Swim is truly in a class by itself. For more information, please see www.bayswim.com.
