Over the weekend, the Heritage Water Festival enjoyed a record number of swimmers at its 0.4K, 0.8K 3K and 5K Heia Safari Ranch course near Muldersdrift in South Africa.

Only in its third year, the Heritage Water Festival had nearly 900 swimmers as many participants were looking to qualify for the 2010 Halfway Toyota Midmar Mile that will only accept 16,000 entries this year.
