Hello Serpentine Swimming Club members,
The race on Saturday 29 May is the The Arthur Goffrey Cup & Club Championship final race and it is an 880 yard scratch race, starting promptly at 8 am.
A scratch race means that all swimmers start at the same time.
To allow for social distancing the race will start in the water and with swimmers spread out across the width of the pond area.
We will keep the entry and wait time in the water at a minimum - if you plan to race, please be ready to go at 8am.
Even though it is a scratch race, check that your name is on the handicap list on Saturday.
If your name is not on it, please let Dani know that you intend to take part in the race.
There are usually 5 Championship races per year (55 yards, 110 yards, 220 yards, 440 yards and 880 yards). In these races all swimmers start the race at the same time and accumulate points towards the Club Championship. This is awarded to the swimmer with the most points after the final race of the series.This year we will just be holding the 880 yards championship.
