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 dipping your toes in for many years, this is the perfect event for you!

We have a limited number of charity places for the half mile swim, each with a minimum fundraising target of £100. Registration is £20.

Our application form for one of our limited charity places in the Swim Serpentine is open until 12 August 2025. Make sure to include as much detail as possible in your application as this is really helpful for when we start allocating places!
