Making Waves In San Francisco Bay

Committed to "making waves to fight cancer", Swim Across America's San Francisco Bay Swim has always attracted numerous Olympians. The Olympians had won 50 Olympic medals total, including 33 gold.

But it was the help of the entire group of 125 swimmers in the cold waters of the Bay that was the real story: they collectively raised almost US$225,00 for the UCSF Children's Hospital and the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute at this year's swim in San Francisco Bay Swim.
