300 SWIMMERS took part in the annual Club2Club swim between Edithvale and Aspendale last weekend.
The swim took place on Saturday, 10 February. The event is an annual fundraiser for the Edithvale and Aspendale lifesaving clubs.
Luke Tucker was the fastest finisher – he completed the 1.8 kilometer swim in 19 minutes and 16 seconds. The fastest female swimmer was Sarah Louise – she recorded a time of 21:58.
Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus was among the swimmers on Saturday. He said “this is a fantastic community event which I’m proud to have done 17 times and I’d encourage everyone to get involved.”
“I like to do the open water swimming events. I usually do the one at Lorne and I usually do the one at Anglesea and at Port Lonsdale over the summer, so I’m raring to go,” he said. “I cannot say that a week visiting departments and officials and the Attorney General in Washington, followed by a week of parliament, is the best preparation for this swim but here I am.”
