🔥✍️ Her 15 minutes 39.14 seconds effort was one second inside the previous Commonwealth benchmark set by New Zealander Lauren Boyle in 2015 .

🕊️ R.I.P. Dolphin #453

World champion, devoted wife and inspirational friend to many, Melissa Roberts OAM was elite … and tough 💚💛 The 1994 25km FINA World Champion conquered multiple marathon swims across Australia and around the world.

She faced her greatest battle after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012.

Please join us in mourning the passing of a champion Dolphin who dedicated her life to swimming and whose ripples across the sport are still felt.
