icAffrey takes bay swim

IN A. ciose competition, John
McAffrey of Prince George won
the Vancouver Bay Swim from
West) Vancouver's Lighthouse
Park to Kitsilano Beach in near.
record time.

Finishing the 10-kilometre race
in 2:20:39, McAffrey was just
more than two minutes siower than
the record of 2:18:00 set last year
by Ian Hylands of West Van-
couver.

Seattle’s Greg MacCam was se-
cond at 2:23:00, followed by top
woman Andrea Dobrik of Pentic-
ton at 2:24:12.

From the start, McAffrey,
MacCam and former national
swim team member Fin Donnelly
were neck-and-neck for most of
the way, until the trio split to pass
a freighter and the lone McAffrey
picked up a shore-bound current
for the winning edgc.

“Tt was really exciting to
watch,”’ said Swim B.C.’s Lesley
Beatson, one of the race orga-
nizers. ‘‘They were together most
of the way — it was just incredible
how it (the win) happened.”

Heavy breakers at Lighthouse
Park delayed the race’s start, and
competitor Roy Goodman had to
pull out before the starting gun
after his support boat was
swamped and later sank.

Thirteen wetsuit-clad swimmers
started the race, but one pulled out
mid-way when performance
faltered.

Vancouver's Percy Norman won
the first Vancouver Bay Swim in
1931, but the event was not held
again until its revival three years
ago.
