Victoria's open water swimmers took to the crystal-clear waters of Busselton, Western Australia for the Australian Open Water Championships from 25-28 January.
It was a strong start from the Vics with 4 medallists on day 1 which was a massive result! Well done to our 10km medallists, Tommy Lane (Haileybury Aquatic) 2nd in the Men's 18 Years and Dakoda Mathers (Nunawading) 3rd in the Women's 18 Years, and our 7.5km medallists, Logan Brandi (Melbourne Swimming Club) 2nd in the Boy’s 16 Years and Mackenzie Hunter (MLC Aquatic) 3rd in the Girl’s 17 Years.
