This popular Swim Serpentine event takes in two laps of the world-famous lake in London’s Hyde Park. It's the perfect option if you’re looking to complete a memorable swim at your own pace, or making the transition from the pool to open water. Plus, this distance is part of the London Classics, so if you've completed the London Marathon and RideLondon 100, you'll receive an extra London Classics medal.
