The Manhattan Island Marathon Swim is tomorrow and an incredible fact has surfaced: for every swimmer participating in the race, there are a total of 8 volunteers helping out in the water. From escort boat pilots and race referees to kayakers and paddlers, the Manhattan Island Marathon Swim is one of the rare open water swims where the volunteers far outnumber the athletes.
