| Description |
The San Francisco Bay 10K Bridge-to-Bridge Swim on Saturday, September 10, 2011 is a 10K swim competition (approximately 6.2 miles) limited to 45 elite swimmers. Competitors will begin the race at the Golden Gate Bridge (between the north and south tower) and finish at the San Francisco Bay Bridge (near Alpha Tower closest to San Francisco). We anticipate that there will be a 3.2 knot flood tide (west to east) during the race. Only swimmers with extensive open water experience should register. The race is organized and run by the non-profit, SFBay10K Bridge to Bridge Swim.
There will be two divisions, non-wetsuit and wetsuit. Estimated race time ranges from 1 hour, 20 minutes to 2 hours, 15 minutes. Water temperatures during this time of year are typically 55-61 degrees. The race jump time will start between 7:15 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. Swimmers and spectators will board support boats promptly at 6:45 a.m. from the Hyde Street Pier to swim start location. The race is being conducted with a US Coast Guard permit and insurance will be in place. |
