CARDINIA Piranhas Swimming Club had great results at the wellorganised Hazelwood Open Water Swim on Saturday, 21 October.
Linda Van Rensch swam the threekilometre course in a personal best time of one hour, four minutes and 50 seconds, while Kaycee Gardiner, Rachael Bradley and Jordy McCrimmon also swam personal best times in the onekilometre swim.
Anna Boura and Kellie Gardiner both won thirdplace medallions in each of their age groups with personal best times in the onekilometre swim.
