OCEAN CITY – Atlantic General Hospital’s annual Penguin Swim will return to the beaches of Ocean City on New Year’s Day, but with a few changes.
On Friday, Jan. 1, Atlantic General Hospital (AGH) will host its 27th Annual Penguin Swim at the Princess Royale Oceanfront Hotel in Ocean City.
As in years past, swimmers will brave the frigid waters of the Atlantic Ocean to raise money for community health care services. But in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, traditional events held in the hotel atrium have been canceled.
“We are taking every precaution that we can,” said Event Coordinator Joy Stokes, “and we are confident all participants and spectators will be respectful.”
