Jessica Roux remained unbeaten in open water swimming in the Eastern Cape over the weekend when she won the women�s 10km and 3km swims at the inaugural Eastern Province Open Water Swim Champs held at Marina Martinique.

Michael Marais won the men�s 10 km event with both Roux and Marais recording South African national 10 km qualifying times. After the race Roux said the swim was tough but she was happy with her time and was looking forward to the South African National Championships that will be held in Durban in April. "There was a strong east wind blowing that caused chop but apart from that it was a great swim and great preparation for the international 7km Nelson Mandela Bay Bell Buoy swim that will take place in Port Elizabeth during the Easter MTN Nelson Mandela Bay Splash Festival.�, said Roux after her 10km race.

Rebecca Newman swam her first ever 10 K swim, finishing ahead of veteran Jeffreys Bay swimmers Brenton Williams and Alfred te Water Naude, who came first and second respectively in their first marathon swims.

Chris Van Der Sande and Tammy Geyer won the 5km swim respectively with Sanmari Woithe and Andre Kleynhans winning the masters categories. Van Der Sande, who has been unbeaten in the SPAR 1km swims at the Axxess DSL Ocean Racing Series this season, also won the 3km swim while Jessica Roux continued to dominate the women�s 3km event. JC van Wyk from Jeffreys Bay won the master�s category.

Dominic Greeff won the 1km swim from Jamie-Lee Sclemmer in a tight tussle that was decided on the finish line. Jeffreys Bay swimmer Danie Ellis (11) won the under 14 division in the event from younger brother Pieter. Richden Jute and Denise Bosman were the first master�s swimmers home in their respective categories

Mike Zoetmulder from Zports who managed the event said he was very satisfied with the turn out for the EP Champs. �This is the first time this season we have had entries for the 10km, which indicates the growing commitment of marathon swimmers in the Eastern Cape. In total we had 16 entrants in the 5km and 10km swims, with 15 swimmers managing to finish their races�.
