PHOENIX -- A 7-year-old Arizona boy completed an estimated 1.4-mile swim from Alcatraz Island to the city's Aquatic Park early Monday.
Braxton Bilbrey's coach and two other adults joined him in the chilly waters of San Francisco Bay. He was greeted at the finish by reporters, photographers and well-wishers.
"I think it's pretty cool," Braxton said shortly after his father grabbed him under the arms and lifted him out of the water.
When asked what he wanted to do next, Braxton said he hoped to swim the English Channel
