Jason Redman, the decorated Navy SEAL who survived a near-fatal ambush in Iraq, is gearing up for his third appearance in the highly demanding New York City SEAL Swim 2025, a grueling 3½-mile swim across the Hudson River. Having endured 40 surgeries following severe battlefield injuries, Redman now leans on unwavering discipline and sheer determination as he prepares to conquer not just the currents, but the limits life tried to impose on him.

This iconic event, which kicks off from Liberty State Park and ends near the 9/11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan, features pit stops at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, where participants complete pushups and pull-ups. Through his endurance, Redman aims to inspire resilience and showcase that transformation remains possible long after trauma.
