More than 300 swimmers, young and old, will be out in force tomorrow, taking part in the Yamba Ocean Swim.
Competitors aged from 10 to over 70 will compete in a 700 metre swim, two kilometre swim, and a 150 metre Dash for Cash.
Yamba Surf Club Surf Sports Director Jim Doherty says even some well-known champions will make an appearance, competing for big prizes in the open division:
“Dane Pharrell, from Illura Surf Club, who’s in the Kellogs Nutri Grain Ironman series, he’s entered, so he’ll be one to watch. Also, Ridge Grimsey from Brisbane, who’s a specialist long-distance swimmer on the Australian swimming circuit.”
“Prize money for the open two kilometre’s 300 dollars,” Mr Doherty says.
The first race takes off from Convent Beach at 10am.
