Swim From The Heart
June 2, 2017, Cape Carmel, Haifa Bay
Hundreds of swimmers from Israel and around the world will participate in the Second International Swim from the Heart meet in Haifa, Israel on Friday, June 2, 2017.
Swim from the Heart was established to raise awareness and critical research funds to predict and prevent Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) in children and young adults—a major
cause of natural death worldwide.
Inspired by open-water swimmers in Northern
California and Israel, participants will give of their strength, passion, and resources to swim in one of four heats in the Haifa Bay—all in support of SCD research at Rambam.
