Up to 45 swimmers will start the swim at Alcatraz and finish at St. Francis beach
Water World Swim is excited to offer this unique practice crossing for all levels of swimmers. This is a great opportunity to swim the course used by most triathlons in the SF bay and do this crossing without the pressure of a race day feeling. We will encourage you to have fun and enjoy the swim and the views you get from the water of the City and the Golden Gate Bridge .
Registered swimmers will receive an email 1 week prior to swim 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. If you do not receive the e-mail in your inbox please check your Spam folder as these type mailers often end up there.
When the information email has gone out, a link will be posted here.
COVID Update:
New Precautions
- Appropriate physical distancing at all times, both in and out of the water. This requires awareness and patience from all our swimmers.
- Online pre-registration for all events. Drop-ins will not be allowed.
- Masks must be worn at all times outside of the water on the boat and immediately after your swim. This will be enforced for the safety and respect of all participants in our open water swim program, and as a necessity for WWS to operate as a small business during these times.
Your registration is non-refundable. Please review our refund and rollover policies before registering.
