Good times in Open Water
2010-01-14
THE Western Province Open Water Championships took place at the dam on the Ashanti Wine Estate on Saturday and Sunday, with conditions being ideal at this beautiful setting. Hot weather with virtually no wind, and a water temperature of 23 degrees provided excellent conditions for open water swimming. Although numbers were down compared to previous years as many people were still away on holiday, good times were still achieved. Several swimmers qualified for the SA Open Water Championships taking place at the Hazelmere Dam in Durban on 10 and 11 April. The winners in the different categories (SAOW indicates swimmers who qualified for the SA Open Water champs) were:
