My Story

About us

Swim Serpentine is London’s hugely popular festival of open water swimming where swimmers can take on a variety of distances in Hyde Park’s famous Serpentine lake, ranging from half a mile to six miles.

I discovered last year that open water swimming is fantastic for mental and physical health but I also discovered the power of anxiety attacks in the water! So what better way to attack the attacks, by swimming 2 miles! What could possibly go wrong? 

I'm trying to raise some cash for the whales and dolphins. They don't panic in the water but they do have a hard time surviving under conditions that we've played a part in creating. 

I will be grateful for any donations and the whales and dolphins will also be grateful, I can tell. 

Thank you. 🙏 

Why don't you try a wild swim too ☺️
