Come join us for the ultimate Bay Area open water swim! This event is not a race -- just a friendly swim in an exciting, safe, and comfortable environment. It is a great opportunity for those training for similar events, including the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon, or people who just want an unforgettable, world-famous swimming experience!
The Alcatraz Swim is an approximately 2-mile swim from Alcatraz Island to the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. We will occasionally swim to San Francisco’s Ferry Building, which takes the swimmers east instead of west, but is comparable in terms of difficulty. Check the registration site for specific course info. Regardless of course, this swim is for strong swimmers. Before taking on Alcatraz, you should be able to swim two miles in a pool (140 lengths of a 25-yard pool) or during our regular group open water swims in Berkeley with minimal stopping in less than an hour and a half. The Alcatraz Swim should not be your first open water swim. Feel free to contact us if you're not sure if you are up for it.
Alcatraz swims are $295 per event. There is a $50 late registration fee within one month of the swim. In addition to the swim itself, registration includes an event t-shirt, an Alcatraz Swim sticker, and a yellow silicone Alcatraz swim cap.
