Swim Around the Rock

An elite open water swim competition

On Saturday, July 12th 2008 Water World Swim will host the third annual round trip Alcatraz swim at the Aquatic Park, San Francisco, CA, USA. This swim will be a challenge for fast swimmers requiring a very strategic race plan. The spectacular 3.25 mile course will include changing tides and fast currents around the Rock. Excellent open water preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

For the first time, the 2008 Summer Olympics will have an Open Water Swim category. The Swim Around the Rock event is a tremendous training ground for competitors for the Olympics. Some of the world's best swimmers are expected.
