PRIVATE ALCATRAZ SWIMS
Sign up for your own privately escorted Alcatraz swim today! 
 
For 2010:
I have 51 Alcatraz crossings scheduled that simulate the tidal currents and routes of the 7 major commercial Alcatraz events scheduled for 2010.  Pre-swim the course and have a huge advantage over your competitors on race day.  And for the first time I also will offer 3 Round Trip Alcatraz swims (out and around and back to shore).
 
See my "Services" page and sign-up today and watch Allen Luong's exciting video to see what these private Alcatraz swims are all about!
