The Hudson River is 315 miles from its source in the Adirondack Mountains to New York City. Lewis Pugh finished swimming all of it on Wednesday. The 53-year-old endurance swimmer completed the last miles of his monthlong river journey Wednesday at the lower tip of Manhattan. Pugh has endured fatigue and sore shoulders. He has dodged tugboats and bobbing plastic garbage. But he insists that any discomfort is worth it to highlight the Hudson and the importance of clean rivers. Tighter regulations and cleanups have helped transform the Hudson over decades into a summer playground for more kayaks, sailboats and even swimmers.
