Callum Greenshields breaks Yahava KoffeeWorks Cool Water Classic course record

Callum Greenshields smashed the Yahava KoffeeWorks Cool Water Classic course record on Saturday, winning the men’s solo race in dominant fashion. The pre-race favourite made a fast start at the beginning of the race in Dunsborough and continued to build on his lead along the 20km course running along the Geographe Bay coastline, finishing at the Busselton Jetty in a time of 4hr.38min.16sec. He finished more than 15 minutes clear of second-placed finisher Giacomo Lucivero (4:54:58), with Paul Newsome (4:59:53) rounding out the top three. Jasmine Wynen-Gaugg dominated the women’s solo race, completing the swim in 5:39:02 — nearly two hours quicker than last year’s winning time in the same category. Lauren Lord (5:57:45) came second, with Jenni Vile (6:00:31) in third. The winning duos swimmers were Stuart Anderson and Nathan Perrett (men’s), Niamh Healy and Mia Evans (women’s) and David Maggs and Naomi Watters (mixed). More than 60 teams made up of five swimmers each contested the teams category, with Olga Londsale, Cameron Robertson, Kasia Rymarczyk, Jay Prchal and Matt Dohmen the winning mixed team, and Natasha O’Neill, Shonel Allison, Toni Moore, Georgina Kovacs-Muller and Kylie English taking the women’s honours. Les Plane, Liam Logan, Geoff Davieson, Sam Griffiths and Leon Musca won the men’s team race.
