The Swim Serpentine
September 2026 - Date t.b.c.
Dip your toes into open water swimming at Swim Serpentine!
Swim Serpentine takes place in Serpentine Lake in the beautiful Hyde Park. Whether you’re new to open water swimming or have been braving the lakes for many years, this is the perfect event, particularly with the flexible distances. Choose from the following distances:
1/2 mile swim
1 mile swim
2 mile swim
6 mile swim
The official date for 2026 has not been announced yet. However, based on previous years, the event typically takes place in mid to late September – join UCLH Cancer Fund for our second year at Swim Serpentine! To stay updated on the official announcement, please monitor the Swim Serpentine website and their social media channels.
Please note that there will be a £20 registration fee for this event, and a fundraising target for each distance – this could change slightly depending on event prices. If you are taking part as part of your London Classics Challenge, you will need to swim at least the 2 mile distance to be eligible.
