On June 11, 1962, Frank Morris and John and Clarence Anglin chipped through their cement cell walls, squeezed through a ventilation shaft to get to the roof, climbed down a drain pipe, scaled a 15-foot fence, and entered the frigid waters of San Francisco Bay. They disappeared into the night, wearing only the meager life preservers they made from stolen rain coats, and were never found, seen, or heard from again.
39 years later, on June 11, 2001, our own Coach Pedro Ordenes became the first swimmer to successfully "Escape from Alcatraz" 100 times! Since then, becoming a member of the elite "Alcatraz 100 Club" has become THE ambition for many open water swimmers.
On September 10th, you'll have the chance to reach your own goals and share the waters with the experts of the Bay, the Centurions. You’ll make your 1.25 mile escape across the bay from the prison to San Francisco as an individual or as part of a team you create with friends and coworkers! You’ll be supported by experienced kayakers and fully briefed by our amazing team.
This event is for experienced open-water swimmers only. You should be able to swim one mile comfortably in a pool in under 40 minutes. If you need advice, support, and coaching for this swim, Water World Swim can help. Please check our no-refund policy before registering.
