• Description: At 9 am Saturday, June 28 the Third Annual Narrow River Turnaround Swim will start from the beach at the University of Rhode Island (URI) Crew Team’s Campanella Rowing Center off Walmsley Lane in North Kingstown, RI, round a buoy half a mile down the River and return back to the Crew Team beach. Registration forms for the 1 mile swim can be found on the NRPA web site, www.narrowriver.org . The swim has grown from sixty eight swimmers the inaugural year to one hundred and twenty-five swimmers last year! Due to the popularity of the swim and because it is limited this year to one hundred fifty swimmers, pre-registration by June 18 is strongly encouraged.
  
  The swim raises awareness of the river as a scenic area, a place to swim, and also promotes open water swimming as a lifetime activity to local residents. Plus it raises monies for the Narrow River Preservation Association which will be used to help fund NRPA’s education, preservation and protection programs.
