Cruce a Nado Internacional is a yearly international swimming competition that takes place at Bahía de Ponce in Ponce, Puerto Rico. It is the oldest open water swimming event in the Caribbean.[9] The event generally occurs on the first Sunday of September, to coincide with the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend every year. The event is sponsored by Club Cruce a Nado, Inc.[10] Some 100 athletes compete,[11] swimming 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) nautical miles.[12] The event started in 1980. The 2020 season's event did not take place due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[13] but its 40th season took place on 5 September 2021 instead.[14]
