Sam Shepherd and Luane Rowe from Victoria and NSW respectively, won the mens and womens 3.2km Vanuatu Ocean Swim conducted on Saturday June 10th 2010.

The 1.5km event male winner was Henry Street, whilst Fiona McLarty was the first female across the line.

Both Henry and Fiona are also from Australia.

The sixth Aore Espiritu Santo Swim, a 2.6km trip across the Segond Chanel, was conducted on Tuesday June 12th, with Sam again first to cross the line in the very respectable time of 29:43.

In the women's section, Luane tipped out Harriet Brown (Vic) who she had narrowly defeated in Saturday's event.
