Though just off the coast of one of the world’s most famous cities, they are a national wildlife refuge, thus uninhabited, and closed to the public.

   How did the Farallones swim work?

   • The Farallones swim was done after years of training in cold water, including marathons in both Monterey Bay and the North Channel from Ireland to Scotland. But those were shorter and warmer swims. During the Farallones Gulf swim, she hit the continental shelf current and the water temperature dropped to 43 degrees.

The water temperature of the Pacific Ocean can vary dramatically; during Gubser’s swim, it ranged from 57 degrees all the way down to a bone-chilling 43 degrees.
