2021 MSSA Open Water Swim Championships Summary
The 10th annual MSSA Open Water Swim Championships were held on Sunday at Somerton, a great new venue. There was a record equalling 162 entries (155 who swam) in the 1 and 3 km events. Choppy seas made for a challenging conditions, particularly over the longer distance.
The overall Female and Male winners in the 3 km event were Leila Nazimi (Henley Beach) and Christopher Deegan (Non-member) while the 1km winners were Stephanie Palmer White (Adelaide Masters) and Ian Young (Marion Marlins).
Team Trophies were hotly contested with Marion winning the Aggregate Points Trophy (ahead of Adelaide Masters and Atlantis) while Phoenix Masters won the Average Points /Swimmer Trophy (just ahead of Aquadome Otters and Henley Beach).
Golden Marlin trophies for completing 10 Marion swims were presented to Steph Palmer White (Adelaide Masters), Neil Thies (Noarlunga) and Tim Burfield (Atlantis).
Thanks to Ben Warr, Open Swim Coordinator, all the Marlins who assisted and Somerton SLSC for providing water cover and club facilities.
Marie Dingwall Memorial Trophy
This annual award was established in memory of Marie Dingwall, a long time and much loved member of our club who passed away suddenly in 2010. It recognised a member of the Masters Swimming South Australia (MSSA) community who had contributed to our swim and the Open Water Swim Series and who embodied the Masters spirit of friendship, fitness and fun. To be eligible a nominee had to be a MSSA Member and had to participate in the OWS Series and the Marion swim as either a competitor or as an organiser. Nominees are invited from MSSA clubs and the award was announced at the Presentation ceremony following the swim. The award was discontinued in 2020.
