SWIMMING SW Chilly, rough water didn't slow down Beau Franklin and Sara Mancell from taking the second stage of the Pepperidge Farm Winter Swim Series at Horseshoe Bay on Sunday.

Franklin completed the half-mile swim in wild surf in 12 minutes and 15 seconds, taking first place overall by two seconds over Ronald Cowen. Mancell was the first female -- third overall -- with a 12:33 clocking, seven seconds ahead of college team-mate Jessica Fulton.

"There were a lot of hills on the course today,'' Franklin said of the two-to-four foot swells. "I enjoyed the race. The rougher the better.'' Added Mancell: "It was tough swimming against the waves. On the way to the first buoy it ran through my head, `What am I doing here'.'' Franklin was pushed by David Cash during the first lap and then Cowen on the second before catching a wave into the beach for the finish.

Twenty-nine swimmers entered the race. Three others decided not to participate and one returned to the beach after starting. Next race in the series is March 12, three-quarters of a mile at Evans Bay Wharf.
