2011  NSW Open Water Championships

5km

Penrith showcased its nicest weather with blue skies and not a breath of wind, perfect conditions for fast swimming and that’s exactly what we saw.

Lachlan Hinds - 1:01:36.00 (5^th) Personal Best Time + National Qualifying Time

Sabrina Warwar - 1:12:31.00 (10^th)

10km

Not the greatest of weather. The race was called short due to lightening in the area. Results were taken from the 7.5km turn.

Lachlan Hinds - 1:38:04.00 (3^rd)
