About this Event
21 miles. England to France. Solo. No wetsuit. Swimming Home follows Erwan Le Roy's solo swim across the English Channel, a crossing many people would never attempt. It's a story about showing up day after day, about the coach and teammates who make a "crazy" goal feel possible, and about how nobody really gets there alone.

He trained for the crossing at North Bay Aquatics with his coach, Ken. If you followed the swim as it happened, this is your chance to see the whole story on the big screen, and to ask Erwan everything you've been wondering. Why Gustave Roussy Cancer research is a cause close to Erwan's family. That's why every dollar of ticket sales from the premiere goes to Gustave Roussy cancer research. Your ticket is a night at the movies, and it funds research. Can't make it? Share this page with one friend who might come. Every seat we fill turns into research. About the Q&A After the screening, Erwan Le Roy, the swimmer at the center of Swimming Home, will take questions from the audience. Ask about anything: the training at North Bay Aquatics with Coach Ken, what 21 miles of open water feels like without a wetsuit, how the film came together, or why every ticket supports cancer research at Gustave Roussy. Come with your questions, especially the ones you've always wanted to ask an open-water swimmer.
