 Registered swimmers will receive an email 1 week prior to race day confirming conditions, temperatures, times, locations, parking options, etc. Passenger space, if available, will be made available for registration and announced in that email as well. When the information email has gone out, a link will be posted here.

This is a clinic geared towards but not limited to triathletes to practice for the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. It is especially created for triathletes wanting to practice the swim portion of the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. Swimmers will practice by the island and then be transported to St. Francis Beach to practice the last quarter mile landing.

Many swimmers who have trained with us during our clinics have reported better times in their competitions this year, plus they felt strong and confident during their race. Our regular Crissy Field clinics include a mile of open water swimming and instruction and advice from coaches. During our special event Alcatraz clinics, swimmers are transported to Alcatraz by boat. Once we arrive at Alcatraz the participants swim parallel to the island to experience sighting and feel the currents of the bay. After the swimmers return to the boat, they are taken to the potato patch where they can experience the rough water directly in front of Alcatraz.

This is very valuable experience so that on race day you don’t encounter an unwelcome surprise – you are ready! The last jump is usually near the destination of the race and swimmers practice their sighting, and “feel” the water near the finish. You will learn about the currents you might expect during your race and plan your route accordingly.

Upon request, our WWS coaches will critique your stroke and provide you with suggestions to make your stroke more efficient and faster. This is a wonderful experience with a great group of people in a non-competitive environment.
