The 28th Foster’s Food Fair IGA 800 metres Sea Swim was the first race of its kinds this season.
It started at Governor’s Beach and finished at Public Beach. A total of 140 swimmers finished on Saturday. There was a strong presence from members of the Stingray and Camana Bay clubs. Alex McCallum was first in a time of exactly 10 minutes with Simon Butler second nine seconds behind.
Alex’s younger brother Iain was third (10.19), Cole Morgan (11.06) and Joel Rombough fifth in 11.13.
Coral Tomascik was the first female finisher, sixth overall in a time of 11 minutes 14 seconds.
Then came William Balderamos who finished in 11.26 and Danielle Booth was eighth and second female home in 11.32.
The sea swim attracts a wide variety of participants – competitive and non–competitive swimmers of all ages – and is a great family activity which allows parents to set a great example of living a healthy life, by swimming with their children.
The swim saw the beginning of a new partnership, with Subway, who are now committed to providing swimmers with healthy Subway sandwiches at the end of each of the season’s open water races.
