The 67-year-old was competing on the second-to-last stage of the event when he disappeared.
A 67-year-old apparently drowned in the Hudson River during a distance-swimming competition on Friday afternoon, according to authorities.
The stage Friday was to take swimmers from the Tappan Zee Bridge, renamed the Gov. Mario Cuomo Bridge, in Tarrytown, New York, to the George Washington Bridge in the Bronx, according to New York Open Water, which organized the competition. The stage was 15.7 miles long. After spending several hours searching for the lost competitor, the Coast Guard said it was transitioning to a"recovery" effort.
