Pier to Pier 3km

Monday 31st July 2023

On Sunday 30th of July, current and former OOJSC swimmers headed to the coast for a 3km race between Hampton and Herne Bay piers. Strong winds made for choppy conditions and the swim was like being on rollercoaster with the ups and downs. The wind also made the start difficult, with most swimmers missing the countdown completely. Matt Steere was in fine form and straight away in the front pack that were leading the 132 entrants along the coast. With a tail wind for the first half, it was a fun swim to Herne bay, timing the stroke to almost surf the swell and waves. Once at the Herne Bay pier though, that all changed as the swim turned around to head back to Hampton. Now instead of a fun ride, it was windmill arms to ensure the recovery hand and arm had a good chance of being above the water. Although the return was a battle, every swimmer exited the sea with a great sense of achievement and said it was a really fun swim. Matt Steere was just beaten out of the water by 10 seconds, having been knocked about by some big waves. He finished in 2nd place in a time of 38 minutes and 15 seconds. Our next swimmer was Steve Morris, out in 12th place in 47m 12s. Niki Herbert, who swam without a wetsuit was 41st in 58m15s. Former OOJSC swimmers Jess Page was 22nd in 50m 7s and Gina Charleton was 48th in 59m 25s. A special shout out to the only person in the 70+ age group, Sue Pearman who finished in 2 hours, 19 minutes and 49 seconds. An incredible swim, and an inspiration to us all.
