    “Each year North Bondi Surf Lifesaving Club put on a couple of ocean swims to raise much needed funds for the Club. As well as being a fundraiser, these are fantastic community events. Each swim has a 1km and 2km option with some keen beans doing both. Putting these swims on requires a lot of volunteers from the Club to set up and make sure all the swimmers return safely to the shore.”

    Cerro, a 3-year-old colt partly owned by 18-time Olympic champion swimmer Michael Phelps, won the $54,500 third race at Gulfstream Park on Saturday. Phelps and his former coach, Bob Bowman, share an ownership interest in the Ireland-bred colt, which runs in the colors of Team Valor International.

    “We are really excited to be part of Cerro’s partnership and see what he can do as he moves along this spring,” Bowman said.
