TEST SWIM, AUG, 2015
A few days following the Samoa Swim Series in early August, three swimmers swam the Course to test it out for the inaugural race in 2016. Attached is the report from the swim. The swimmers before the start at the Upolu ferry building are L-R above, Mike Cochrane and Rosie Sharman of Auckland and Kane Orr (ACT, Aust). The photo below is of Mike with about 7km (4.5miles) to go.

Mike Cochrane, made it across in just over 8hrs. Mike is the record holder and current winner of the Aust FOS tally, having raced 307kms of Open Water racing in the 2014-15 season. He is a regular at Samoa Swims and it was a delight to have Mike and others test out this swim for us. See the changed conditions by the windblown coconut trees.
