This weekend a team of a dozen SSC swimmers ventured down to Tooting Lido for the World Winter Swimming championships in rather pleasant conditions, with the temperature some 50 degrees warmer than those faced in Finland last year.
On Saturday the main event was the 25m head-up breaststroke. All the Serpentine swimmers managed to qualify for the A or B finals though only Paul Cooper was able to come away with a medal, while Jeremy put in a wonderful performance to win the battle of the Hunter brothers.
Sunday was more successful with Sophie and Nick coming away with silvers in the 60m freestyle race and one of the relay teams gaining silver in the international relay as the top placed British team. The club also provided a decent number of competitors for the 450m endurance swim.
