The 5th annual Thames River swim was held in Chiswick to coincide with the Richmond to Greenwich rowing race (350 boats of all types from 22 oars to Tongan Dragon boats).
Some 35 swimmers (mostly wet-suited) took part in this c.1,000 metre race, including some hardy Serps swimmers, namely Andrew Alum, Mark Faure Walker, Jeremy and Robin Hunter.
Overall winner was Andrew Alum in a record (for the course) time of 12m30s. Mark was 5th. Special congratulations to Jeremy, albeit in a wetsuit, who was in his first competitive race since breaking his femur very badly 3 months ago.
