Ian W. Carney Transbay Swim, From a Swimmer's Point of View
SANTA CRUZ, CA -- Every year, UC Santa Cruz's team
swims from Santa Cruz to Monterey as part of the Transbay Swim. This 26-mile
swim is done in a relay format, consisting of two relay teams of six.
The swimmers compete without wetsuits, in the 50-degree waer during 20-minute
shifts. They are accompanied by a trio of kayaks that are each there for
the swimmer's safety against sharks, jellyfish, and sea lions. A yearly
team bonding experience, the swim has also turned into much more than
a fundraiser. (more)
