Boost for Open Water Swimming in the Eastern Cape with launch of new Series

Marina Martinique hosts Swim Series

Open water swimming in the Eastern Cape got a further boost over the weekend with the launch of the inuagral EP open water swimming series which kicked off on Sunday at the pristine canals of Marina Martinique. Consisting of six race days this season, the Series will take place on a monthly basis in the Marina which offers ideal open water swimming conditions.

The Series will consist of a 1km, 3km, 5km and 10km swim and is aimed at attracting social swimmers into the open water environment to boost the provincial age groups teams, in particular the Masters teams.
Michael Marais dominated the events on Sunday morning, winning the 5km and 1km events.

The next event in the Series will be taking place over the weekend 21/22 November with further information available on the website www.ecswim.co.za or from Zports on 041 484 7860
