Another Bridge-to-Bridge (Golden Gate to Bay Bridge) swim! A fast 6.2-miles in 1:36 with a lovely incoming tide. We swim Bridge-to-Bridge multiple times a month, year-round. 

We have 19 more Bridge-to-Bridge swims on our schedule this year!

Our Bridge-to-Bridge swims start under the Golden Gate Bridge and finish under the Bay Bridge with a swim by Alcatraz. Loads of fun, perfectly timed and professionally piloted by the most experienced swim pilots on the San Francisco Bay.

Marisa is in from Colorado for a training swim to practice swimming in the dark, feeds off the boat and swimming with an es**rt vessel to prepare for her upcoming marathon swim. She is out with licensed captain and marathon swim coach Kelly Gentry this morning and was treated to some pretty special conditions.

Congratulations, graduating seniors from the Stanford Women’s Swim Team!! These ladies decided to have one last swim adventure together before walking for their diplomas this weekend. They made quick (and fun) work on a bumpy Alcatraz to San Francisco swim.

Bright futures! The world is in good hands with these women leading the way.

Best of luck!!!
