Samoa Swim Festival May 2015

The first Samoa Swim festival has just been held at the Stevenson’s resort at Manase, Samoa.

The group of International swimmers and spouses have enjoyed a week of swimming in the Manase area. Three swims were held 5km, 3km and 10km. New Zealand swimmers dominated the event with Steve Prescott winning all three with Mike Cochrane coming a close second. One of the high lights was watching 71 Year old Trevor Corkin an Ocean swimmer from New Plymouth , New Zealand who finished his first 10km swim.

The group also spent time coaching the Year 3 – 8 children of St Theresa’s School , Safotu. On the final day a race was held and all children received a t-shirt and the winners of each class a medal.
