Our 2025 season is around the corner… We thought we’d provide a few things to remember on your upcoming swim. ✨Your sight points in the city will be your beacons! As the current moves you along be sure to listen to your Odyssey coaches for instructions on sight points along your route. ✨We have an incredible crew of experienced safety paddlers there to guide you through each stroke. They’re there to keep you safe, alert us to any concerns during your swim, and correct your course. Don’t be shy if you have questions during your swim! ✨ Your body will adjust after that initial plunge but be sure to have plenty of warm, dry gear for afterwards. And perhaps a hot Irish Coffee at the Buena Vista to celebrate! ✨And a question we get often: “what about sharks?” The most common sharks in the Bay are harmless to humans and are bottom dweller scavengers. The species most people worry about prefer the deeper open water out near the Farallon Islands— 30 miles from San Francisco! If you’re lucky you may encounter our honorary swim guides the harbor porpoises and seals, but not our sharp toothed friends! 🦈✨ #openwaterswimming #odysseyopenwater #bayswim #sanfrancisco #odysseyalcatraz #alcatrazswim #wildswimming

Coming soon: @odyssey_openwaterswimming ‘s 2025 season The final Alcatraz of the season and the San Francisco Bay rewards us with perfect conditions—glassy water and a blanket of blue overhead while the city stands sentry. It’s moments like these that remind us why we swim: to feel alive, to embrace the beauty of nature, and to push past our limits. What a way to end this chapter. We are so proud to be a part of this global community and we thank each and every one of you for joining us. But don’t hang up your goggles just yet... The magic of the Bay isn’t going anywhere. Stay tuned for the 2025 season—bigger, better, and with more unforgettable swims ahead. Your next adventure awaits. 🌊✨🪩 . . . #openwaterswimming #wildswimming #odysseyopenwater #bayswim #swimming #sanfrancisco #odysseyalcatraz #alcatrazswim #thebay

Embrace the unknown! We understand that open water swimming comes with a few discomforts.

But here’s why you should step out of your comfort zone: 🌊 Build resilience and confidence by overcoming challenges. 🌊 Discover unique adventures that broaden your perspective. 🌊 Learn new abilities and enhance your adaptability. 🌊 Each success strengthens your self-esteem for future challenges. 🌊 Sharing these incredible experiences can strengthen relationships. 🌊 You might uncover new interests you never knew you had. 🌊 Regularly confronting fears helps you handle life’s ups and downs. Who’s ready to face your fears with us?#openwaterswimming #odysseyopenwater #bayswim #swimming #sanfrancisco #wildswimming #

Yesterday @odyssey_openwaterswimming asked how open water swimming helps you unwind and mind your mind. Read on to see how our swimmers feel about getting in the water (hint: it’s magic ✨). 🌊 “It takes concentration so my brain doesn’t have space to chew on anything else.” 🌊 “Swimming in cold water automatically snaps me out of whatever mood I’m in.” 🌊 “Outdoors with friends + Fresh air, cool water + movement = soothed spirit.” 🌊 “When I’m swimming, nothing else matters. I can’t pay attention to chaos.” 🌊 “It’s a form of meditation; repeating the same thing over and over. Even when it’s wavy.” In other words: let the sea set you free. #openwaterswimming #wildswimming #odysseyopenwater #bayswim #sanfrancisco #swimming #thebay #thebayarea
