7 year old swims from alcatraz to sanfrancisco

A seven-year-old boy has become the youngest person ever to swim from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco.

Braxton Bilbrey, joined by his coach and two other adults, completed the chilly 2.25-kilometre swim in 47 minutes on Monday.

Greeted by reporters and his father, the second-grader summed up his adventure as "pretty cool."

"He did great," Bilbrey's father, Steve, told reporters. "He looked so strong. He did so awesome. I'm so proud of him."

thats pretty crazy! i dont know if this kid was on steroids or how the heck he cuold have done it.

what do you think?

Man I can't even swim across the pool at the park with my grandkids. I wonder how this kid managed to do it. Seems pretty lucky to me or just good currents.
Either way it's a heck of an accomplishment.

He probably started swimming as soon as they would let him in the pool!
