This was an Exhibition swim from Alcatraz Island to the San Francisco Bay on 10.22.11. The total swim is about 1.5 miles. The first person footage was shot with a GoPro camera.

This was our first open water swim in the Bay Area. Pretty cold, but not too bad with a wetsuit on. The worst part was getting over the fact that we probably didn't have a high likelihood of getting attacked by a great white shark...

The event was hosted by Swim Art (http://swim-art.com/). Check 'em out. Thanks guys!

  • Love this video, very well shot! Where did you buy the straps to secure the Go Pro to your back? Was in comfortable to swim with? Thanks. 

  • @cahnnelswimmer thank you! My buddy (also in the vid) bought the straps. Not sure where. I do know they originally were for the chest made for a frontal face shot, but we just turned them to the back. They were slightly uncomfortable, but not unbearable. And the combo was light/small enough to not negatively affect swimming ability too badly.
