Swim Serpentine is a swimming event that takes place in the world-famous Serpentine lake in London’s Hyde Park. We have 4 places available for the 2 mile swim.

“Swim Serpentine is amazing because you are out in the open and you are racing against yourself. You’re not even really racing! You’re just out in mother nature, trying to take in some of the view.  There’s so much more enjoyment in that than a race.” (2023 event participant).
