Happy Australia Day
Round 8 of the 2019/20 SWA OWS Series got underway this morning with magnificent conditions with a 35C sunny and light SE winds at Sorrento Beach proudly presented by New Town Toyota. 918 swimmers took to the water with 153 successfully posting qualifying times for the Rottnest Channel Swim and Port to Pub.
SWA Vice Patron Mr. Peter Katsambanis MLA and Councilor Christine Hamilton Prime from the City of Joondalup were in attendance to help start the huge number of swimmers.
Swimming WA would like to thank New Town Toyota for their support and boy did the OWS Hilux get a workout carrying all the freebys down from Emma and Toms milk and bars, New Town Toyota Beach Balls, Westpac money boxes and the 1 tonne of Aussie Natural Spring Water handed out to swimmers after their swim.
Congratulations to Lars Bottelier (2:07:13.6) and Jamie Bowler (2:13:41.1) who took out our line honours for the 10km and well done to all swimmers who chose to come swim with us today and well done to those who challenged themselves to achieve their goals.
