Happy new year everybody! Just posting a reminder of the cold water challenge/letting any newbies know about it :)!

...

So we have some Windrush badges up for grabs. Some of you may have earned swimming badges when you were younger but for those who aren't sure what they're about, basically you do some kind of swimming challenge and are rewarded with a shiny new badge for you to do what you like with (sow on your towel/swimwear/pin to your bag/frame on your desk at work etc). This particular challenge is cold water swimming, you'll earn a badge (for a mere £4) if you manage to:
- Swim one length of Brockwell Lido.
- NO WETSUITS (socks and gloves are allowed).
- Heads up breaststroke is allowed.
- Saturday lido session only.
There are 3 badges up for grabs, sub 10, sub 8 and sub 5, so if the water is below 10 degrees you will get a sub 10 badge, below 8 degrees, sub 8 badge and below 5 degrees, a sub 5 badge. There'll be plenty of opportunity to get the sub 10s and 8s, sub 5 should make an appearance but may get to late Jan/Feb before we see it! I'm hoping for snow at some point! See you down the lido!
