Expired Alcatraz Classic 2019
- May 11, 2019
6:30 am - 9:30 am
THE SWIM DATE HAVE BEEN PERMITTED AND CONFIRMED BY THE COAST GUARD
This means this is the date we are planning on, but the Coast Guard still needs to confirm it before it's set in stone. The Coast Guard is a busy place, and it can sometimes be months before they give us approval. So how often do they not approve it? Very rarely, but if you need to book travel or otherwise need absolute certainty, you might want to wait. Just know the the swim might fill up and we don't hold spots!

This Alcatraz crossing is offered to swimmers that have crossed many times from Alcatraz to San Francisco, or for the experienced open water swimmer wanting to race Alcatraz in style for the first time! The St. Francis route, despite being 2.1mi, is faster than Aquatic Park due to sweeping currents in your favor.
This swim is a favorite among the fastest Alcatraz veterans, as well as the first timer who wants to test their swimming endurance in a competitive setting. Medals will be given to all participants with trophies for top racers. Be in it to win it!
