Bright start to Open Water season

Posted on 19 Jul 2010 at 19:23 by Keith Barber

 Saturday saw the opening of the Open Water season in the South East with the Sussex 5K (incorporating SER 5K) taking place in breezy conditions at Eastbourne. 58 competitors took to the water and in increasingly rough conditions the Junior titles were won by Dominika Szucsova and Andrew Horsfall-Turner. Senior titles went to Danni Pryor and Adam Warner.

Many swimmers returned on the Sunday in much balmier conditions to contest the Maritime 2K with Alex Panayides winning the Ladies race with Danni Pryor taking first SER spot. In the men's race Dan Seagrove-Castle just lead out Andrew Horsfall-Turner.

Standing in the Regional Series are available to download from the Open Water page.
