Two-day swim event is a hit

The weekend’s extreme heat didn’t deter hundreds of swimmers from taking part in the annual Noosa Summer Swim event at Noosa Main Beach on Saturday and Sunday.
The new two-day program offers a range of ocean swims for every ability from juniors to the 5km swim where swimmers can push their limits.
The main event was the new marathon-distance Noosa 5.0 swim with Jessica Ashwood taking out first place in the women’s division with a time of 0:54:56.9 and Yasu Hirai taking out first place in the men’s division with a time of 0:51:38.2 to share in $1200 prize money.
The weekend of ocean swimming is presented by Milk & Co with swim ambassador Michael Klim always heading to Noosa Main Beach to catch all the action.
