The YMCA’s Pier 2 Pier Swim Race, in memory of Ryan Young, is an annual open water ocean swimming event held at beautiful Wrightsville Beach, NC. The swim is approximately 2 miles point-to-point between Johnny Mercer Pier and Crystal Pier with prevailing current.
This unique event creates a lot of excitement and enthusiasm in the swimming community and highlights the Y’s commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility.
All proceeds from the Pier-2-Pier race benefit the YMCA’s Safety Around Water program, a free water safety and swim lesson course available to the community each spring, summer and fall.
