Press Release Summary = The Alcatraz 100 Club is gearing up for the 5th Annual
Alcatraz100 "Swim of the Centurions".

Press Release Body = Water World Swim, located in San Francisco, California is
gearing up for the 5th Annual Alcatraz100 "Swim of the Centurions", which will take
place on September 2, 2007.

From Alcatraz to the Aquatic Park in the San Francisco Bay, the 1.25 mile swim has
become world-renown and is projected to have 400-450 participants competing in four
events. A percentage of the proceeds go to the Charlotte Maxwell Complementary
Clinic (www.charlottmaxwell.org), which is a California state-licensed health clinic
that provides free complementary alternative medical treatments to low-income women
with cancer, and National Parks Services (http://www.nps.gov/state/ca/), which helps
communities across America preserve and enhance important local heritage and
close-to-home recreational opportunities.

Unfortunately, the Bay Bridge will be closed during this event. If you live or will
be staying in the North and East Bay, give yourself extra time to get there. This
work will impact traffic coming into and going out of San Francisco and Oakland over
the long weekend.

This is the swim that Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers, Clarence and John,
attempted in their successful escape of Alcatraz prison on June 11, 1962.
Thirty-nine years later, on June 11, 2001, Pedro Ordenes and Gary Emich became the
first people ever to complete the Alcatraz Swim 100 times. They decided to share
this goal with all the swimming community around the world and start the Alcatraz
100 Club, which consists of hundreds of individuals.
