Swim Serpentine 2021

Second Open Water event for me, after the 1.5 Swimathon at the West Reservoir last week.
This was a 1 mile swim and I enjoyed it thoroughly!
Can’t say that I was fast – at least 50 minutes – but I savoured every single stroke. The water wasn’t cold – I didn’t need to wear a wetsuit – the weather was sunny and beautiful, the event very well organised. Especially I feel that the skills learned at the TriClub really helped my swim. I didn’t feel as out-of-breath as usual and I could appreciate my body gliding more easily.
I’m sure, if it wasn’t for the curious swan that suddenly appeared in front of me and wouldn’t budge, I would have completed this in half the time! 😜
