A prize for Sportsmanship was awarded to Joel Enoch for giving up his first male prize due to not seeing himself as a novice. Prizes for perseverance were awarded to young Daniel Shields who despite initial nerves did his family proud with a steady happy swim, and to twins David and Steven Tossell who supported each other to complete the event.
