2018 Record Field
|
Congratulations to all 2018 Lake Argyle Swim Participants!
A record number of swimmers completed the 2018 Swim in good conditions on Saturday 5th May. The 20km event got underway at 8:00am with some small swell early. Conditions improved throughout the day, as the 10km field started at 10:00am. Water and air temperature was slightly higher than last year, with times being 15 minutes slower than last year and no course records being set in 2018. Participants, family and friends enjoyed a fantastic Gala Presentation Dinner Saturday night at the Resort, with Mick Collis (Australian Sudoku legend) entertaining the crowed and the band playing late into the night. The Junior Swim was well supported on Sunday morning. First across the line in 2018 was 10km Duo, "Team Petty". First 20km solo was Jess Evans from Queensland in 5:28:34. Full provisional results are available below. |
