Film Description:
Swimmers gather, plunge through the surf, and head West from China Beach where San Francisco’s Northern edge meets the Pacific Ocean, just outside the Golden Gate.
Taking a break from busy lives, they swim along the base of Lands End’s sheer rock cliffs, navigating wave-battered rocks covered with kelp, mussels, and harbor seals basking in the chilly gray fog.
Swimmers often experience the Pacific Ocean’s violent mood swings. Visitors sometimes swim through calm waters, but often fight strong currents, big surf, and the threat of hypothermia.
They prepare physically and psychologically for powerful ocean forces, yet these explorers find something healing in the untamed waters!
