The event also featured and 800m swim, where 12 year old Karissa Bae was not only the first female, but first overall out of the water.  Bae outpaced all others, including perrenial triathlete Jude Baker and last years winner Rachel Mutter.  15 year old Jake Bustamante, an all around waterman, was first male out of the water in the 800m swim.
The new course was adopted to provide an evening swimming opportunity and allowed visiting athletes to participate in several athletic events this weekend, including the Ko’ko Eikeden Road Race.  The seventh year of the Tumon Bay Ocean Swim featured routine support from Central Sports, VAAM, DNA Evoloution, Fokai Industries, PowerZone Sports, the Tsunami Swim Club, the Guam Swimming Federation, the Fiesta Hotel and the Guam Shinbun and Pacific Daily News.
