This is the meet index for the Rockingham Open Water Swim - the first leg of the 2009/10 Water Corportation, Swimming WA, Open Water Swim Series. The day was very successful with three of the four competitors trying out Open Water Swimming for the first time. Ryan in his 2nd time at Rocko swam in 18th overall and placing 1st in his 17/U age group. Well done!!
Steven Scott , Fraser Wipp and Tony Ball (finishing in that order) swam extremely well also. All of the swimmers coming in within the top 100. For their first time it would seem they had all done it before with the results. Congratulations.
