Beautiful swim of about 1400m. Hayden Squance, Terry Bone and Gus Marfell led from the start, retaining the same order right through and finishing within five seconds of each other.
Lilly Claridge was seventh overall to lead the women’s section, with a difference, once again, of five seconds from Keshia Linyard. Christina Harris touched down a fraction of a second ahead of Nia Linyard for the next places.
Neve McKenzie won the short race from Rob Sheridan, then Liliana Perrett, Mike Crowe and Roger Matheson.
A total of 137 swimmers took part.
