“The CUC Swim is a great way to start your new year’s resolutions for keeping active in 2019 – thank you to CUC for sponsoring the 30th Annual CUC 800m Sea Swim; and thank you too to all our swimmers who came out to take part,” said CIASA Race Director Duke Sullivan.
The CUC 800m Sea Swim is a great introduction race for swimmers of all ages who have not participated before. There is also an option, for children aged 12 and under participate in a 400m sea swim, by completing half the course. The top three in each category received a trophy and all participants received a generous goodie bag from CUC, including a t-shirt, swim cap, baseball cap, swim towel and swim bag.
Veteran of the sea: Frank Flowers, the lone over 70 finisher, with CUC President Richard Hew.
