Three Dorado swimmers carted off the top prizes at the annual Sawaki River Swim (Bartica to River’s view) on Sunday in celebration of River’s view village day.
L-R: Soroya Simmons, Daniel Scott and Alex Winter

The race occurred in choppy, brackish waters, with a strong current which forced some of the swimmers to actually swim approximately 4 km.

One hour, 19 minutes 36 seconds allowed Daniel Jeffrey to finish in sixth while seventh place went to Orin Bowen with a recorded time of 1hour 20 minutes 26 seconds. Eighteen swimmers started the race while only seven completed.
