Bay Frog Open One-Mile Swim
In the tradition of the Erie Bay Swim that was held from 2008-2017, Uncommon Grit Foundation hosted its third annual Bay Frog Open one-mile open-water swim, which featured some of the region’s finest swimmers. Athletes were accompanied by former Navy SEALs and special operations veterans as we raised money for our nation’s service men and women.
To every swimmer, sponsor, and volunteer, THANK YOU for making our 2025 Bay Frog Open One-Mile Swim a huge success!
With over 100 swimmers, beautiful weather (even if the water kept things interesting 🌊), and incredible energy from start to finish, this event reminded us what it means to show up with purpose. We're proud to stand alongside each of you in support of our nation’s military, veterans, and first responders.
We hope you’re as proud of your swim as we are. We’d love to see you back in the water next year.
📸 Thank you to Gibbens Creative for capturing the swim.
