The Championship at the Serpentine Swimming Club is a series of five races held through the course of the year. The races are 'scratch' races, ie there is no handicap, with all swimmers starting at the same time. The swimmer that accumulates the greatest number of points across all five races wins the Championship.
The first race of this series was a 55 yard race, but due to the short nature of the race, the field was split into three races. The first (slowest) race was won by Eric Carter, Mark Fabik won the second, and Nick Adams won the final race.
The prizes were presented by Peter Larrad, who had commissioned a lovely glass plaque for the winner of each race. Photo to come.
