The BIG Swim - 2.9km

On Sunday Kimble and Juice took part in yet another ocean swim.
It's called "The BIG Swim" from Palm Beach to Whale Beach.


Due to a rip tide at whale beach the finish line was moved further along the beach. So the race went from a 2.7km to 2.9km swim.


OK this was going to be a tough race as the conditions where rough.
Temp: 21 deg
Swell: 5 - 6 foot
At least it was over cast (the day before was 42 degrees)


Juice's group head out into the wild ocean.

Swimmers did there best to catch a wave into the finish
.

Kimble completed the swim in 59:06
Juice finished in 58:54 at that was after being stung by a blue bottle on the neck!
Well Done Juice!!!
The Kimble-Juice household competition continues.
