Local 9-Year-Old Completes Alcatraz Swim For Charity

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS13) - A brave 9-year-old girl jumped into the chilly waters of San Francisco Bay Monday to swim from Alcatraz to Crissy Beach.

Jordan Freer is from the town of Lotus in El Dorado County. She completed the 1.5-mile Orca Alcatraz Swim Challenge in just under 55 minutes to raise money for an organization that helps prevent malaria in Africa.

She was the youngest swimmer out there today.
