Splash & Dash : Maritime Challenge 2024
Splash & Dash - Maritime Challenge 2024
Maritime Challenge Well what a day was had yesterday. Dip & Explore held our first event - Splash & Dash: Maritime Challenge and had 16 amazing swimmers take on a range of events and distances.
For our youngest swimmer - aged only 10! - a small lap of the lake in an amazing time of 14 minutes 7 seconds.
Oue 12-13s males and females then came in at a variety of times from 29 - 33 and a half minutes for their 2k events. Our first place swimmer has only been training a few months and flew through the course.
Next up was our acclimitisation for the 14-16s, 16-18s and 25+ made up of our brave master swimmer Matt - 9 swimmers dove in together with the majority coming in about the 45 minute mark with the exception of our national swimmer Sophia who came in at an impressive 41 minutes 29 seconds - a 3 minute 40 second PB on her national time just 2 months before! Special mention goes to our Para swimmer Harry - 57 minutes 22 seconds - improving from his challenge swim time 6 weeks ago of 1 hour 13 minutes
Thank you for all your support this year - bring on next events
