Doing the Alcatraz SharkFest Saturday. I've done two OW swim tris, and a bunch of OW training in the last few weeks. Any Alcatraz-specific advice re: sighting, when to get off the ferry, etc??

(right next to each other) and dues/fees are about the same. What's the difference between the clubs? Which one do I join? Does it matter? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Both clubs are open to the public on alternating weekdays, I think the fee for club day use is $6.50, or it was last time I dropped in. There are always members hanging around both clubs, and they're always willing to tell you what's great about their club and not so great about the other one. I have swimmers that are members of both clubs, and everybody's happy. The clubs usually combine on several events every year and they usually have an Alcatraz Swim open to Pacific Masters members. The relationship between clubs is genial, they even have a connecting hallway. After swims it's not unusual to find memebers in each others sauna too.
There's an amazing living history of Bay Swimming at those clubs, pick one!
See Ya
