Women Overtake The Men In Lake Argyle, Western Australia
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California. The 2016 First National Kimberley Lake Argyle Swim, a 10 km and 20 km solo, duo and quad relay competition will be held in Western Australia on May 7th.
Event manager Glenn Taylor describes the participants, “Registration data reveals female swimmers outnumber the male swimmers in 2016. Ladies make up 53% of our field this year.
This is a slight turnaround from last year where the ratio was 48% female/52% male. It is great to see such an even gender mix in a long distance endurance sport.”
