7-year-old boy swims from Alcatraz to SF
Saw this on the news this morning. Braxton Bibley, a 7-year-old kid from Arizona, just finished the 1.47 mile swim from Alcatraz to San Francisco in 47 minutes. He could be the youngest person to have swam those chilly and choppy waters, as the last kid to have swam the distance was 9-year-old Johnny Wilson from Hillsborough about seven months ago. Bibley did it to raise money for a drowning prevention program in Arizona. Pretty impressive!

This kid is so cute!
That 9-year old must be PISSED!
Talk about risking a childs life for nothing. Not cute at all. Do the words Great White Shark mean anything to his parents or coach. They attack things that look like seals from below the water in a surprise attack. Small boy, black wet suit, shark lure. Just too stupid for words.
