If any of you faithful readers of all things to do with Serpentine swimmers had decided to browse elsewhere for adventure, then you might have been disappointed when you read a recent edition of “Men’s Journal” the magazine which I assume deals with man things in a mansize, manly and menly mode; pass me the Kleenex before I get too emotional. Of the top 50 man-sized adventurers listed in the magazine, the only swimmer who was big in his Speedos was the extraordinary Lewis Pugh.
An American swimming Blog which decided to rank the top 50 adventurous open water swimming manly, menly, womanly, womensize adventurers; more Kleenex please. And we at Serps can be pleased to be reminded of three awesome swimmers who made the top 50. They include Nick Adams who divides his time between Serps and Dover where he dedicates time to Channel swimming; Kevin Murphy who has swam the Channel solo 34 times and Colin Hill who is now based in Lake Windermere.
Sincere congratulations to all three swimmers and we are fortunate to be able to have swimmers of this global calibre in our club.
Kevin Murphy
Colin Hill
