Build your Alcatraz Sharkfest plan
The instant browser builder only plans running races, so a open-water swim plan comes from the coach itself. It opens with the Alcatraz Sharkfest already filled in for September 25, 2027, asks about your week and your current fitness, and writes every session. Free account (or start as a guest), no card. You are about 53 weeks out.

The Alcatraz Sharkfest course
The course, distance and swim rules for this event have not yet been confirmed against the organizer's own site, so this page does not describe them. Check the official page for the current course and wetsuit rule before you plan your open-water sessions.
What to train for
Build open-water confidence before race day: regular swims in open water, sighting practice every few strokes, and steady pacing over the full distance rather than a fast start.

Alcatraz Sharkfest training questions
How long should I train for the Alcatraz Sharkfest?
Most athletes give a open-water swim eight to sixteen weeks of focused training on top of an existing base. The coach counts back from your actual race date, so if you have less time than that it builds the best plan the remaining weeks allow rather than pretending you have longer.
What is the Alcatraz Sharkfest course like?
The course, distance and swim rules for this event have not yet been confirmed against the organizer's own site, so this page does not describe them. Check the official page for the current course and wetsuit rule before you plan your open-water sessions.
How cold is the water at the Alcatraz Sharkfest?
The Alcatraz Sharkfest does not publish a typical water temperature. The athlete guide gives the wetsuit rule for race day: check it before you plan your open-water sessions.
