Dutton Dash 2026
You came and swam.
Amongst those who swam or trained with Tim were new faces who wanted to dash or just wanted to have fun.
The youngest swimmer was 12 and the oldest 84, ranging from super competitive swimmers (like Tim) to those who just enjoy swimming in open water. Also spotted amongst the simmers were little people watching mums and dads swimming away.
The placings for the Dash were:
Dash 500
1. Luke Thwaites (2nd last year, well done Luke!)
2. Rosie Ibbotson
3. Ruth Buckley
Dash 1000
1. Mark Grammer (Overall sprint series winner)
2. Mackenzie Annett (keeping the 2nd place, Mark was too speedy!)
3. Catherine Williams
We would like to thank the volunteers:
Emily, Sammy, Steph for on water supports.
Rosie L for head checking in / out swimmers.
Rosie I, Rod, Theo for helping to set up, tidy up.
Simon for the boat / overall supports.
Lastly, our heartfelt thanks to you all who donated to the Heart Foundation in memory of Tim.
