Hope in Motion: Nashville’s Swim for Cancer

Swim Across America returns to Nashville for its fifth annual pool swim this Sunday, raising vital funds for local cancer research at Vanderbilt. Since its national debut 39 years ago, the organization has raised over $150 million — and every dollar in Nashville stays local to fuel breakthrough treatments. Early support from these events helped develop life-saving cancer drugs now seen on TV. With a deeply personal mission led by event director Alyssa Corb — who lost her brother to leukemia 20 years ago — the swim welcomes swimmers of all ages and abilities, from six to ninety. Corb’s message is clear: cancer treatment progress is accelerating, and with every swimmer and volunteer, we’re moving closer to a cure. Registration is closed online, but you can still sign up in person at the Ensworth Pool starting at 8 AM — or join as a volunteer.
