Give Her An Inch And She Takes A Mile

Britta Kamrau took a slight lead over three Olympic 10K medalists and won the 1-mile Great Scottish Swim in 18:56 seconds. Larisa Ilchenko was second in 18:58 and Keri-Anne Payne was third in 19:01.

Daniil Serebrennikov of Russia, Jan Wolfgarten of Germany and David Carry of Scotland finished 1-2-3 on the men's side.
