Hi Bay Area Swimmers -
I hope to get some info from my Bay Area friends about who runs the best Alcatraz Open Water swims out there. There are 5-6 of us in Minnesota who want to do the swim.
Bill Barthold once told me there were numerous swim coordinators who do this during the summer months.
Thanks for any information you can post my way.

I swam both the Alcatraz Sharkfest Swim and the Golden Gate Bridge Swims in 1997 & 1998. I swam in events organized by Dave Horning at Envirosports... http://www.envirosports.com/
I was impressed with the professional manner in which both events were run. I wold give Enviorsports an A+.
On a side note...in 97 sixteen or seventeen Texans went out with Bobby Patton and Jim Montgomery...and we all swam these event in the NON-WET SUIT Division. It will take some getting used to..but I suggest you swim these events without wet suits..if possible.
Trust me....you are going to have fun....!
