Hello,
I am going on a family holiday to the westcost of the U.S i July this year and wanted to do an Alcatraz swim whilst visiting S.F. I am a reasonable OW swimmer and did a 20KM swim from Denmark to Sweden in little less than 6 hrs. this past summer.
Does anybody know about any official Alcatraz swims, or what would you advise me to do?
Thanks in advance,
Jens
Copenhagen, Denmark
I have done the Alcatraz Sharkfest swim twice. Well organized and fun event. They list it as a 1.5 mile swim whjch makes it about 2.4K. You should have no trouble with this swim. Just follow the race instructions as the tide can cause a current and you need to adjust your navigation.
I don't have a link but the South End Rowing club also organizes Alcatraz swims. I have not done one of their swims but have only heard good things. Good luck on your swim and enjoy your trip!
