Serpentine Swimming Club

A six race series for a trophy crafted to Mike Small's own specifications -  one arm and a wonky leg.

Others in the mix for points and generous prizes provided by Andy and Bill Deeley:

2nd Heather Miller

3rd Paul (the hat) Atherton

4th John Reid

5th Norman Jones

6th Mary Olivari

The crowd were also in fine voice whilst singing "Happy Birthday" to Anne Mannix and George Cselko.  Cake was consumed.

One arm and a wonky base -  a trophy hand crafted by club silversmith Bill Phipps in honour and "reflection" of Mike Small, to specifications drawn up by the great man himself.

Contrary to what was stated on the radio, membership of the Serpentine Swimming Club is strictly following these simple rules.

Sixty-one club members took part in the160th Christmas Day swim, with all eyes on the prize that was the 2023 Peter Pan cup.  Sarah Legrand overcame keen competition for her first win in a Serpentine race.  And what a race to win!

Water 9.3c; air 12c.   Was this the warmest Peter Pan race ever?
