The Crissy Field swim this year, one of our two longest regularly scheduled swims at about 2.75 miles, had fog and wind, but sufficient visibility to ride a moderate flood back to Aquatic Park. Water temperature was as high in spots as 61, making the water more inviting that standing on the dock.  Two start groups, a slower swimmer group and a faster group, were separated by about 15 minutes but made the piloting easier and the finish times less spread out.

Pilots:

Natazha Bernie, Barbara Byrnes, Paul DuBois, Jim Frew, Patrick Grady, John Grunstad, Larry Heine, Evan Hirsch, Gavin Jefferies, Brian Kiernan, Kristy Leffers, Matthew Leffers, Mark Lenz, Thomas McCall, Mikhail Melnikov, Hal Offen, Joseph Omran, John Robiola, Scott Stark, Ryan Utsumi, David Wagner, Diane Walton, David Zovickian

June 29, 2019

The Doc Howard Over 45 Gashouse Swim was swum in the evening, with a 6:00 PM jump into a strong flood tide.  All swimmers finished with fast times and all were recorded with a qualifying swim for the Golden Gate and Alcatraz.   A second flight of swimmers, under 45 swam an inside the cove swim, without having times or places captured, but also with qualifying swim. One under 45 was misunderstood the instructions and swam with the older group: his time is given, but he is not placed with the Over 45s.

Dean Badessa, Jon Bielinski, Lindzy Bivings, Paul DuBois, Justin Fisch, Matthias Fore, John Grunstad, Evan Hirsch, Gavin Jefferies, Liz Kantor, Brian Kiernan, Timothy Kreutzen, Aniko Kurczinak, Christian Martin, Thomas McCall, Timothy McElligott, David Nettell, John Robiola, Wendy Schuss, Kathleen Sheridan, Scott Stark, John Thorpe, Ryan Utsumi, Diane Walton
