Ohio River Swim Canceled for Safety | Lexington News

The Great Ohio River Swim’s September 13th date is officially canceled — safety concerns over dangerously fast currents, rising bacteria levels, and debris make it too risky to proceed. Originally postponed from August 30th, organizers say even the backup date won’t cut it. While disappointing for registered swimmers, this tough call prioritizes safety — and everyone who signed up will receive a free entry for next year’s event. The swim supports Adventure Crew, a nonprofit empowering city teens through nature and outdoor connection — so the mission keeps moving forward.
