AFTER initially delaying the event due to adverse weather, the Tomaree Triathlon Club successfully held the annual Point2Pub race on Saturday 28 June at Soldiers Point.
Despite the chilly water temperature, over 70 competitors from across the region and beyond took the plunge for the fourth annual Swim Classic.
The competitors showed incredible spirit across the two featured events – the Marquee 2km Bannisters Point2Pub and the 1km McCauley K.
Club Vice President Michael Williams hailed the event a “great success,” commending both the athletes and volunteers who braved the elements to make it happen.
The 2km Point2Pub event was won by Wade Barr from the Central Coast and Matilda Smith from Westen, with Matilda notably continuing her undefeated streak by claiming the title of first female finisher for the fourth consecutive year.
In the McCauley K, honours went to Caine Platt of Warners Bay and Millicent Crofton of Balgowlah Heights, both putting in strong performances in the shorter but equally challenging swim.
Club President Terry Withers said, “The Point2Pub Swim Classic will return in 2026 and is open to all swimmers, from seasoned open-water athletes to first-time participants”.
