Rip View Classic 2016

Rip View Classic 2016

Point Lonsdale was the setting for our first open water swim of 2016 … a chance for 17 Belugas to work off some of the overindulgences of Christmas and hit the open water with renewed purpose (along with 1,531 others).

This year saw the addition of a new distance of 3.8km in addition to the traditional 1.4km Rip View Classic. Anthony Ferguson and Paul Turner bravely entered the new swim and indeed opted to do it without a shred of neoprene. Even more impressively, after completing the 3.8 they then cheerfully plunged back into the ocean a mere half hour later to compete in the 1.4km. Thus are legends made.

Club Legends in the making …

For the remaining mortals in the club, the 1.4km provided ample challenge, with choppy conditions keeping things interesting. Congratulations to everyone for a terrific set of swims.  There were some standout performances from Tracy Cameron (1st), Anthony Purcell (2nd), Sue Cox (4th), Alexandra Cateriano (6th), and Jaye Dowling and Sue Muir (9th in their respective age groups).  Well done to everyone on a fantastic day out, but particularly to Anthony and Paul for breezily racking up 5.2km on the day. Great effort!
