What a STUNNING morning for the South London Swimming Club Invitational Gala held at the Tooting Bec Lido. Clear blue skies, with the mercury almost hitting 20C!! The water was a crystal blue 6.5C, which brought some reality to the proceedings!
Deirdre Ward was a legend as always, and led from the front as a Serps Vice-Captain should. She organised all the competitors from the Serps, which isn't alwasy easy.
Five teams competed. A team from Brockwell Lido, Out to Swim, South London Swimming Club (SLSC), Serps A and Serps B. Yes, we had sufficient depth to field two teams!!
Serps A came a respectable third, with Serps B coming fourth. As usual, the hosts were allowed to win. Perhaps we should be holding an Invitational next year!
