Sub-60 in the Tropics!

I stepped onto Aore Island beach exactly 57min and 28 seconds after leaving Luganville! The ear-to-ear smile wrapped across my gob expressed how I felt. Tired, but thrilled. Possibly the best event I’ve competed in to date!

Santos – Aore Island Ocean Swim

The annual 2.6km swim between the islands of Espiritu Santos and Aore is now an international event, involving ni-Vanuatu swimmers and canoe/out-rigger paddlers, local tourism operators and residents, swimmers from Australia, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S.A.
