Talk the talk, swim the swim
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- A 7-year-old boy has become one of the youngest persons to swim from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco's Aquatic Park.
Braxton Bilbrey is a second-grader from Glendale, Arizona, who has completed several short-scale youth triathlons.
Bilbrey was accompanied on the estimated 1.4-mile swim by his coach, two other swimmers and a Coast Guard boat.
As he reached shore, Braxton was besieged by reporters. He told them he considered his accomplishment "pretty cool."
Asked what the hardest part was, he replied: "The swimming."
