Which goggles would you recommend for Alcatraz? I've been looking at the aquasphere mask type goggles. Would you recommend this type of goggle for the swim? I was told that larger goggles with a lot of plastic would pop off and not seal in cold water swims. Any hints on how to keep my goggles from fogging up?
Any other recommendations for Alcatraz would be greatly appreciated!

I thought the race started when you jumped off the boat? The Escape from Alcatraz isn't a deep water start is it?

I have only done the "Sharkfest." That race starts when everyone "assembles" along a "line" established by kayakers. We finished in Aquatic Park. I have heard that in some events,.swimmers wear a chip that records their time when they cross a specific point near the island. When you hit the water ,..your anxieties will dissolve.
Here`s the deal...........have the time of your life,..you will remember this swim forever,..and like someone else said,,,,STOP,,,part way accross and enjoy the view,..enjoy the moment.:applaud:
