The swim section was completed predominantly at slack water on a high tide. Though the swim time wasn’t the quickest it did seem that more of the athletes were out of the water quicker than in the past, with a lot of competition at the front of the race.
With the increase in popularity of Celtman the exit of the swim is now very congested. That and with a number of swimmers exiting the water at the same time made the photography very challenging. I have included some that are on the edge in terms of quality and regrettably a number were not up to standard for inclusion.
