Swim Across America - Tampa

Hey Tampa swimmers, make sure to read your event packet before we see you tomorrow! ❤️🌊

Ahead of this weekend’s Swim Across America - Tampa open water swim, we’re proud to share a story from Chris Supra, a top fundraiser in that community. Chris swims for his son, Ian, who lost his battle with esophageal cancer in November 2015 after a two-year fight. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your story and honoring Ian through Swim Across America.

“I'm swimming in honor of my son Ian, who was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in January 2014 of his senior year in high school at Dr. Phillips HS. Ian was a High School All American water polo player and swimmer. Ian left a lasting impact on the local community as his story went viral throughout the water polo and swimming community. Swimmers and water polo players all around the country rallied around Ian in his battle with cancer including several Olympian Water Polo players. While dealing with his diagnosis, he established a foundation that supports children, both financially and emotionally, battling cancer in Central Florida. Through his foundation, water polo tournament, and events like Swim Across America, Ian is still leaving a positive impact throughout Central Florida and beyond.”
