Coming This Fall - Four Exciting Swims
 
 
Be part of the inaugural TransBay Relay fundraiser to benefit San Francisco Baykeeper!  3-person non-competitive relay teams will swim 9 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge to the East Bay in support of a healthy San Francisco Bay.  Without Baykeeper we wouldn't have a clean Bay in which to swim.  Sign-up or donate today! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
An exciting .5 mile or 1.5 mile swim from the Golden Gate Bridge to Crissy Field.  Proceeds benefit breakthrough cancer research programs at UCSF Children's Hospital & Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute.

Swim along craggy rocks and cliffs, past sandy beaches, through remote coves and from island to island in the pristine waters of the Sea of Cortez off the Baja California peninsula.  Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez the "Aquarium of the World."  Truly the open water swimming vacation of a lifetime.  Find out more about this October 2010 offering! (slow server - patience)
