Odyssey Open Water Swimming

Well planned, safe. This allows the swimmer to focus on the swim and enjoy the swim, rather than being overly concerned about safety, course or other issues. Happy New Year! - @sonicbook1234 Read what makes for the perfect swim escort according to open water swimmers here:

Don’t block my line of sight to the next buoy. Don’t wear colors same as buoys. Thanks! - John G. The Perfect Open Water Swim Escort: The Community Answers Read here: https://buff.ly/39NYn2j... #openwaterswimming #swimming #swim #berkeleyswim #openwaterswim

Our first and last public Alcatraz swim of the year. Due to restrictions, the swim was capped at a total of 30 swimmers. Conditions were pretty good with less than average waves. The current wasn't as strong as it usually is, which means that it can take a little longer to complete the crossing, but it is more likely that everyone will make it. All swimmers did a great job and had fun. Thank you to all who participated! ... #openwaterswimming #swimming #openwaterswim #alcatrazswim #alcatraz #swim

Congratulations to Kait and Joey, who picked a fun, unique, and totally awesome way to get married -- by joining us for a private Alcatraz swim. Stay tuned to the Odyssey blog for a post about this unique occasion.

Perfect execution! #openwaterswimming #swimming #berkeleyswim #swim #openwater

It's that time again -- time to "Ask the Community"! We're celebrating weirdness. This week, we're asking you to share something you do that other swimmers think is weird. #openwaterswimming #swimming #swim #askthecommunity #berkeleyswim #berkeley #bayswim

Check out our newest photo album from a private swim to and from Angel Island. On October 9, 2020, Conny and Jeanette completed the crossing and had a fantastic time in the process. View the album here: #openwaterswimming #swimming #angelisland #sanfranciscoswimming #swim
