This short documentary is about the Rip Swim project and how it came about. It gives a good understanding of the Rip as a body of water and why it is such a notorious passage. Swimmers have now been taking on the crossing in an official capacity under the guidance of the Rip Swim organization since 2014. Almost 500 swimmers have successfully crossed and there is now a winter crossing as well!
