Ruscheinski, Berry & Miller among top finishers @ Swim the Sound
All of the events started at Saba Rock and finished at Leverick Bay, Virgin Gorda.
At the end of all the swimming and paddling, the names that were separated from the bunch included Tash Ruscheinski, Hayley Berry, Jeff Miller and Mark Dioj.
Ruschienski, who is no stranger to competitive swimming in the Virgin Islands, won the 3-mile swim in 1hr, 9mins, 22seconds. The second female to finish was Courtney Greene, who completed the distance in 1hr, 29mins, 19secs, while Jude Woodcock made it in 1:34:44 and Jenny McCleary in 1:41:12.
The first male to complete the 3-mile swim was Jeff Miller (1:25:19) followed by Russell Crumpler (1:39:16) and Adrian Dale (2:17:42).
The more popular 2-mile swim was won by female swimmer Hayley Berry (0:52:33). The second female in was Emily Drinkwater (1:00:36) followed by Kat Brownston (1:05:16).
Mark Dioj (0:53:29) won the male 2-mile category while Giorgio Paradisi (0:53:35) came in a close second followed by Elliot Steer (0:57:16).
Under-12 swimmer Natalie Fay conquered the distance in 1:33:50.
In the 2-Mile Assisted Swim, where persons were allowed to use fins, snorkel masks and tubes, Nici Singletar made the journey across the sound in 0:57:15, with Jovan Van Heerdan second in 0:57:20 and Nigel Pettigrew third in 1:00:19.
The Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) event attracted 27 participants who found the first 200 metres or so the hardest as they had to first go around Saba Rock into strong winds and rough waters before heading off with the wind to Leverick Bay.
Marco Bava (0:32:59) was first in followed by Charlie Smith (0:33:08), Roy Keegan (0:33:13) and Brian Duff (0:33:57).
Participants were presented with medals and other prizes.
The day at Leverick Bay then took on a family fun day and there were several exciting activities such as blind Kayaking, Frozen T-shirt and limbo dancing. There was also a VISAR raffle draw that saw some exciting prizes won. The top prize was an Ipad.
