16-year-old Mitali has completed the Alcatraz to San Francisco swim dozens of times, while her younger sister Anaya has also completed numerous crossings. They face cold water temperatures below 60 degrees and limited visibility, turning this challenging open water swim into a regular achievement through their discipline and resilience.
Training with an open water swim team, the sisters emphasize the importance of mental focus and overcoming fear. Their repeated success has surprised many who view the Alcatraz swim as nearly impossible, and they encourage other young swimmers to pursue similar challenges, showing how preparation and determination can overcome even the most intimidating obstacles.
