Perfect Conditions for a Swim:
A record field successfully completed the 2021 First National Kimberley Lake Argyle Swim on Saturday. Competitors from across the country made up the 123-team field of solo’s, duo teams and quad teams in the 10km and 20km distances on offer.
Calm conditions greeted competitors, with the 20km swimmers starting at 8am. The first 20km team to cross the line was the team from Burleigh Heads, Queensland – on their 11th annual trip to Lake Argyle. The first 20km Duo was ‘Filament Coffee’ from Cottesloe, WA. The amazing 20km solo field comprised all female athletes, with Lisa Eadie from the NT completing the distance in 5 hours, 36 minutes and 36 seconds.
In the 10km quad team race, Royal Life Saving WA set a new course record of 2 hours, 17 minutes and 35 seconds. First duo team home were locals Ben Broady and Dane Roberts. First 10km solo across the line was Otto Kamenzin from Perth.
All swimmers, skippers and paddlers celebrated late into the evening with MC Peter Rowthorn providing plenty of laughs and great music from Part Time Pirates and DJ Scotty. The table service dinner for all 700 guests made for a fantastic end to a great day of swimming.
Planning for the 2022 Lake Argyle Swim is already underway – set for the first Saturday in May, with registrations opening 1st November at 9am.
