Sharkfest Swim from Alcatraz, San Francisco Travel Video Guide:

*SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE UNIQUE VIDEOS*

Every year, 1,000 San Francisco swimmers participate in SHARKFEST: Escape from the Rock. They take a ferry to Alcatraz, jump off and then race back to shore. The water is cold and full of sharks and sea lions...but amazingly everyone makes it back to shore!

This is the story of Team Hydro, a group who swims Sharkfest to raise money for the non-profit Hydrocephalus Association - a relatively unknown disease that affects over one million Americans.

This is a great cause! Get out and swim if you dare!

Thanks for watching!

This video is wonderful. Everyone who is doing the swim seems so cool. Humanity is always surprising. It never ceases to amaze me how humans can collectively do so much bad towards each other on a daily basis, then turn around and do something wonderful for people they love. If everyone was like these people, who have a huge capacity to care about others, this world would be a better place. If only right!? Keep making videos!

We're looking for swimmers for 2010. Drop me a line and get into the mix! We hope to sponsor an entire year's worth of research in the form of a research grant this year? Over-ambitious? Not with your help!!
