Despite the extremely hot conditions, competitors remained focused and many records were broken.

The atmosphere was festive and the swimming enjoyed by all, even some parents who were roped in to swim by their enthusiastic children. BOA coach and organiser Mandy Koegelenberg thanked the sponsors and everyone else who played a role in making the day such a success.

The various age categories included (under 10) Little Dolphins, (11–20 year old) Shimmy Shakers and (21 and over) Last Minutes.
