 Teenager Emma Glendening won the open water swim |
Teenager Emma Glendening has won the inaugural St Aubin's open water swim. The 14-year-old AIB Tigers swimmer was the first of the 79 entries to finish the race and claimed some big scalps along the way. In an extremely close finish to the race she beat Commonwealth Games swimmer and current triathlete Daniel Halksworth by 12 seconds. The course of just over 2,000m proved a test of endurance, with rough sea conditions hampering the swimmers. Race organiser Neil Faudermer was pleased with the turn out for the event.  | ST AUBIN'S SWIM RESULTS

"It was great to see such a mix of abilities, from strong club swimmers trying to win the race to those simply achieving personal goals by completing the course," he said. The competitors ranged in age from early teens to swimmers in their 70s. The event was hailed a great success and will now be held on an annual basis. The event will now become one of a series of open water meets organised by Jersey Swimming club, with the Castle to Harbour swim on Sunday 13 July the next chance to race in open water.
