Serpentine SC v SLSC gala

Sunday 16 November 2025.

9.30am – 11.00am at Tooting Bec Lido.

In memory of our shared member, the late Doug Smith.

London’s oldest open water swimming clubs will battle it out for the Doug Smith Memorial Cup in the chilly waters of Tooting Bec Lido. The races are 33 yards in each stroke in three age groups (40 and under, over 40 years and over 60 years) and team relays.

Please let Gina know that you are willing to race (and which is your best stroke other than crawl, plus your age) and she will try and fit everyone in.

Please turn up by 9.30am, to be allocated your race – races start at 10am sharp.
