Founded in 1987, Swim Across America has hosted charity swims with one goal: to raise money for innovative cancer research that would lead to breakthrough treatments and therapies. Since then, Swim Across America has raised over $100M to fund the next generation of pioneers in oncology and cancer-support care.

We created Team Tyler this year to honor my mom, Nancy Tyler, who passed away in February 2023 after a battle against breast cancer. She was a swimmer in her youth in Fairfield and later a cheerleader, volunteer and captain’s mom in Darien and at Dartmouth.

Please consider donating in her memory for the upcoming Fairfield County Open Water Swim. Visit her page to contribute and read more about our family’s love for swimming: swimacrossamerica.org/goto/nancytyler

You can also send a check to: Swim Across America, 8508 Park Rd. #389, Charlotte, NC 28210. Checks should be made out to Swim Across America but please include a note mentioning Nancy Tyler / Team Tyler.

We also welcome your participation as volunteers and swimmers at the event as part of Team Tyler, or at other swims across the country including SAA My Way.
