Finley trio conquer Lorne swim
Finley swimmers Aiden Murphy-Ridell and Zoe and Andrew Richardson travelled to Lorne to participate in the world’s largest open water swim on Saturday.
The Lorne Pier to Pub is a 1.2km swim hosted annually by the Lorne Life Saving Club and proved to be quite an enjoyable challenge for the three locals.
Zoe and Aiden competed in the junior class, while the older Andrew (Richardson) swam against the veterans.
Richardson even found himself swimming alongside some friendly dolphins on the day.
