More than 800 of the state's fittest and fastest masters competitors braved both scorching sun and squalls of rain to show they've still got what it takes after a big two days at Swansea Belmont on March 13-14.

Tacking Point SLSC spokesperson Raelene Myers said the top 10 result is an outstanding achievement for the club.

"We had lots of great individual and team results and Tacking Point was the first country club home," Raelene said.

Local legend and veteran Peter Hennessy won three gold medals across the board, Ironman and ski competitions.

Pete, alongside Jim Pullen, won the Australian title double ski race back in 1970.

He has competed at the highest surf competition level for the past 50 years with great success.

Luke Morris, the reigning men's over 45 board champion, placed second in the men's over 45 flags and fourth with Richard Hewens in the board rescue in 2020. This year he placed second in the single ski, fifth in Ironman, fourth in the board race and second in the beach flags.

Raelene Myers won gold medals in the rescue tube, Ironwoman and 2km beach run along with a silver in the surf swim last year. This year, she brought home three gold in the surf swim, Ironwoman and tube race; a silver on the ski and bronze medal on the board as a result of her efforts.

Deb Barlett, who out the tube race in her division along with a bronze in the board rescue with Gayle Ellis while competing for Wauchope-Bonny Hills SLSC, earned her place in the 45-49 age group. She placed fourth on the ski and board and fifth in the Ironwoman and tube race.
