At the beginning of the year I posted about a new challenge we'd created to get your hands on one of the limited edition gold Windrush swimming hats. All you needed to do was swim at least 50 meters, 5 times (over 5 weeks) at the Saturday Lido session without a wetsuit. 

Well its had an unbelievable response. Lots a people have come down to get their swims in. Some for the first time, others ditching their wetsuits and shivering to the sauna. The lowest temperature we've had so far is 5.5 degrees and it is actually started warming up over the last few weeks. 

So far we've had 31 people start to undertake the challenge. 

This Saturday (3rd Feb) there are 4 people in line to get their 5th swim completed and pick up the first of the limited edition hats. And potentially on Saturday 10th Feb we could have a further 9 people completing the challenge. That means we're nearly over half the hats being claimed.

There are only 25 hats and once they've been claimed there will be no more. So if you want to be the cream of the Windrush swimmers then there is still time, but not much.

Sign up to the Saturday Lido swim, come down and get your first swim in.
