Bicton Bay and Back River Swim (BBB)New Course for 2007 Click map to view enlargement
The Bicton Bay and Back (BBB) is swum over 5kms or a 1.6 kms course and is a real test of skill given the tidal conditions.
5km start 1.6 Swimmers ready 1.6 Start
The 5km race starts at Bicton foreshore near Bicton Baths and follows the course of the river upstream to Blackwall Reach, toward Point Walter, then returns downstream past Bicton baths towards East Fremantle Yatch club, then turning before Aquarama. Finishing back at Bicton Baths.
The 1.6 km swim begins at Bicton and heads downstream for 800m. Participants round a buoy and return. The race is in a sheltered section of the river and the surroundings are quite picturesque. Regarding the condition of the water, the part of the river used for the BBB Swim is very clean and is regularly flushed out by the ocean. It is not uncommon to be accompanied by some dolphins while swimming the course.
First Male Rhys Mainstone
 First Female Jenna Ward 3rd overall. Sprint finish with Ron Morelli.
 This swim is a great experience. Those who participate have a sense of achievement and a feeling of mateship with their fellow competitors.
