Swim Serpentine 🏊🏽♀️ 🥽
A swimming challenge in the heart of the capital.
Swim Serpentine is back and set to be bigger and better than before!
Join our team and challenge yourself in 2026.
Are you a keen athlete? Then why not enter the London Classics Hall of Fame?
Everyone who completes the three London events (Ride London, London Marathon and Swim Serpentine) receives the magnificent London Classics medal, engraved with the words Et Ego Londinium Vici (I too have conquered London) and is listed in the Hall of Fame. The medal presentation takes places after completion of your third event.
If you’ve already taken on the London Marathon and/or RideLondon and completed the challenge, then why not add Swim Serpentine to the list for your chance to enter the London Classics Hall of Fame? Complete the two mile swim for your chance to collect all three London Classics and your medal!
