Take the plunge in the famous Serpentine lake in London's Hyde Park and challenge yourself to the 1-mile swim! Swim Serpentine offers a fantastic race on Saturday, September 19th. Picture yourself completing a full lap of the lake, experiencing this iconic event, and challenging yourself at your own pace.

The race features a staggered start, with swimmers setting off at regular intervals. The water temperature in the Serpentine lake can vary; however, in the summer, it can reach over 20°C (70°F). Wetsuits are optional when the water temperature is over 15 degrees. As a participant, you'll receive a ZONE3 swim cap and will have access to convenient facilities like bag drop and toilets.
As a participant, you'll also receive professional event photography to capture your achievement, and timed results to track your progress.
