Join us Saturday, July 19 at the Columbia River Maritime Museum to cheer on the finishers for the Astoria Regatta’s Swim Across the Columbia! Participants will be led by Dr. Paul Silka, CMH's Emergency Department medical director, as they swim around six miles from Washington to Oregon.

The Astoria Co-Op will provide complimentary pastries and fresh fruit for supporters to enjoy. Freshly roasted coffee from All Good Coffee Co. will also be available for purchase, with a portion of proceeds donated to the BuildCMH Expansion Project.

Thank you to our partners, the Astoria Regatta, Columbia River Maritime Museum, Clatsop County Sheriff's Office, the Coast Guard, ODFW, WDFW and many others who are helping to make this a safe event for everyone on the water.

Boaters, please be aware of swimmers and kayakers in the river from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Be on the lookout for support vessels accompanying the swimmers and local marine authorities.

We look forward to seeing you at the finish line!
