I'm hosting a second bay swim at my club in San Francisco for InterNations members who want to give it a try. I'll provide a little orientation before hand. You'll also enjoy a warm shower/sauna after at my Protected content old Row/Swim club. Then we'll grab coffee/tea/brunch.

This is also preparation for the Alcatraz Swim at the end of August for my more adventurous troop!

FAQ:
Q: Is it cold? A: around 58F, 14C.
Q: What the @*%#!? A: I'll prepare you before hand. You only swim as far as you're comfortable. I'll escort.
Q: Can I wear a wetsuit? A: Absolutely. But you wont need one to enjoy. You just swim a little shorter time.
Q: Will I need sun-block? A: We probably wont be in that long, but it's up to you.
Q: What if I can't swim back? A: We'll swim along the buoy line, where it's a short swim to the beach so you can walk back.
Q: What about the wild-life? A: Within the cove, along the buoy line the odds are very low. Only seals might want to play, and I've never known them to bite. Swimming in groups is an important precaution we'll be taking.
Q: Is the water clean? A: It's not clear, but Protected content of us swim year around without issue.

If you just want to cheer on others, you don't need to sign up or pay the fee. Just let me know.

If any experienced bay swimmers want to help me escort first-timers, I can increase the number of participants and waive your fee (up to 2).
