Swim Serpentine is a one-day open water swimming festival staged in the heart of London.
Sign up today to take part in this iconic fresh water swimming challenge! Swim Serpentine 2023 will be the event’s fourth year and it’s fast becoming London’s premier open water swimming event. There are no currents to worry about as you’ll be swimming around the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park. Complete 2 laps of this open air course to conquer this challenge.
Are you up for the challenge?
Swimming is a low impact sport, as it is non weight bearing. This is good news, as you are less likely to pick up an injury compared to other sports. However, you should not enter your first open water event without having swum outdoors previously. Start off gradually and build up the distance.
The two-mile swim will cover 2 challenging laps of the Serpentine. You should aim to swim at least once a week or more and one of these swims should be outdoors where possible.
