Rip View Classic - 1.4km Open Water Swim

Monday, 31 December 2007 19:00

Point Lonsdale - Saturday December 29th, 2007 – It was a perfect day for a dip in Bass Strait with air temperatures in the mid thirties and bright sunshine one was almost tempted to think it might be possible without a wet suit and the water was warmer then last year’s hypothermia inducing penguin friendly low teens. Crystal water and myriad fish across the reef provided a great spectacle for swimmers in it to be in it. With the tide running heavily in our favour we turned in some stellar times for the 1.4km event, if we could do that in a pool we would be very satisfied indeed! Congratulations to Leanne Sheehan Club Vice President, who did a great job of representing us, taking first place in her category on the podium watched by fellow club associates and participants Paul Martenhelyi, Andrew Evans and Jacque Ross. The Point Lonsdale swim is an annual event competed over 1.4kms.
