Rylock swim series, race 18, March 17, 2022
A small select field this week, with 78 doing the long swim of 1600m and 15 doing the short option of about 600m. The race got off to an exciting start when naughty boy Geoff Lart shouted out “Five seconds to go”, then whistled loudly. Of course half the field set off, but they were soon reined in and a …

Rylock Swim Series Race 14, February 17, 2022
It was a great relief to have a fine night for a swim, after two cancellations. As it was close to low tide, there was no discernible current and it was only slightly choppy. And the sun was shining. We celebrated with a longer swim of 1650m taking in most of the harbour. Hayden Squance romped home from Connor Eden …
Rylock Endurance Series, Race Three, The Eyebright Mile
Against the odds and the weather, the race went ahead with 46 starters – the lowest for a very long time. Surprisingly, conditions were fine for those in the water – not so good for the kayakers, boat people, timekeepers and other officials, who did a great job. Hayden Squance was first to finish, with a comfortable margin over Terry …
