THE last Swim the Distance challenge to be held at the existing Olympic Pool has wrapped up.
The event challenges individuals and teams to swim 45.5km — the distance from Gisborne to Mahia.
“In total we had 206 taking part in the event,” said Sport Gisborne Tairāwhiti Swim the Distance
event adviser Debbie Hutchings.
“The 2022 Recreational Services Swim the Distance Challenge can now be written into the history books as the last event to be held in the 50m pool.
“With over 7500km collectively swum over the eight-week challenge period, many new friendships were made and some incredible personal success stories emerged. It is a fantastic team/group challenge and was a great success.
