highlights of 2009 Stert
Island Swim
in Burnham-On-Sea
Weston
swimmer Mark Dunstone won first place in Burnham-On-Sea's gruelling
Stert Island Swim on Sunday (July 19th).
The
annual 2,400m sea swim went ahead despite high winds and choppy
seas making challenging conditions.
Six
competitors were unable to finish, and organisers agonised over
whether to hold the event.

Mr Dunstone told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "They were interesting
conditions out there today. Going out was very tough, with swimmers
going in all directions through the waves but it was a good race."
