This year’s Baykeeper Bay Bridge Swim was a memorable success. Conditions were excellent, with light winds, making for a fantastic day in and on the water. All 47 swimmers safely reached the cove, finishing in impressive times ranging from 42 minutes to 1 hour 12 minutes. A huge thank you to all of the pilots and volunteers whose teamwork and dedication made the swim such a success. After the swim, Baykeeper set up an information table for participants and supporters. The names of the three fastest swimmers will be engraved on the ‘Golden Rivet’ trophy plaque in recognition of their outstanding performances.
