Paddler Information
Krossin' Keuka is a .67 mile fun swim across Keuka Lake, off the shore of Keuka College. This is a fundraising event to support the Keuka Comfort Care Home.
Paddlers are part of the Krossin' Keuka safety team and play an important role because they are closest to the swimmers in the water. They are the Safety Team's eyes and ears, and not only offer encouragement and coaching, but also offer PFD to swimmers in need.
