Over a dozen Serpers went down to the Solent last Sunday to compete in the annual Calshot Bay Swim.
It was a picturesque day, bright and breezy, with hundreds of boats on the water. However, the breeze was perhaps a little too strong for mere muscle-propelled bodies, as was the current from one end of the course.
But the Serpers did us proud clocking up the winner, Andrew Allum, over 5km, the longest-in-the-water-and-the-second-oldest-by-only-a-month (Gordon Brodie 5km), the only breaststrokers (i.e. we wiped the board) inc Leslie's solid 5km, and better representation than any other club (nothing if not enthusiastic) - oh and we were definitely the loudest.
Rapacious appetites were met with a tasty barbeque and the warm reception from those at the Solent Swimming Club was as fine as ever
