2018 Joe Bruno Golden Gate Swim results

August 19, 2018

The Joe Bruno Golden Gate test swim did not happen since the fog was too thick.  Instead, four of the test swimmers swam in from Alcatraz.  The next day, the fog was much thinner, but the Joe Bruno Golden Gate swim was delayed by a miscommunication for about 45 minutes, which allowed the ebb to build to a much stronger current by the end of the swim, leaving 8 people who had to be picked up.  Thanks to our great pilots for guiding the swimmers and taking good care of them.
