Facial expressions even Popeye with his pipe and spinach would be proud of

Winter Series races in waters of 4C with some champagne moments to admire

It was a champagne quality dive from Jo Dale that set the tone at today’s Winter series. Elegance, grace and a dive lighter than bubbly champagne was the treat for us all. Give that lady another glass of champagne someone.

Dani Lobo, our resident handicapper was away so his deputies rallied to support the cause and keep an eye on who is winning what in the Winter Series races.

What was also on offer, thanks to the very cold 4 Celsius water temperatures, were some honest facial expressions, ranging from Popeye gurning, to tequila style lick the salt squeeze the lemon faces. Great to see Sean Kelly to the fore in that competition.

Serpentine SC Christmas party is on next Saturday. Wishing you all a great week. 
Ho ho ho

Yours swimmingly
