Three female records have been broken in the annual Euroz Hartleys Port to Pub Rottnest swim on Saturday, which saw more than 1500 people cross the 19.7-kilometre stretch from Leighton Beach.

Josie Page tackled the gruelling 25-kilometre women’s solo ultra-marathon swim in six hours, one minute and three seconds, beating the record held by predecessor Rebekah Weller by almost eight minutes.

Callum Greenshields took out the top spot in the men’s category, traversing the distance in five hours, 51 minutes and 57 seconds.

Record holder Ben Jimmieson, who swam the 19.7-kilometre race in just 4 hours, 49 minutes and 20 seconds last year, won the solo male category for the second consecutive time after completing his race in five hours, 10 minutes and 25 seconds.

Duo ‘Seal the Deal’, featuring Jaimee Trarger and Bianca Petite, set a record in their category, finishing in four hours, 46 minutes and 40 seconds.

This year’s iteration of the Subi Sports Sista’s, consisting of Chelsea Gubecka, Bianca Monaco, Chantal Liew and Rebekah Weller, managed to break the record the team set in 2023.

Byron Kimber, Kristian Seidl, Flynn Czaplinski, Andrew Morris, Xavier Collins, Hayden Ferguson were the first male team of six to cross the finish line, completing the race in three hours, 49 minutes and 49 seconds, while Jaime Bowler, Todd Pearson, Tim Hewitt, Mike Ledger were the first male team of four.

The event sold out for the first time in its nine-year history, with more than 1500 participants aged between 13 and 75 setting off from Leighton Beach early on Saturday in near-perfect conditions.

A total of 54 participants tackled the gruelling 25-kilometre ultra-marathon solo, while a record 126 completed the 19.7-kilometre open water swim alone — three times the number that competed last year.
