Swim Serpentine 2026 route
A one-day open water swimming event staged in the iconic setting of the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park, which was the venue for the Marathon Swimming competition at the London 2012 Olympic Games. The two-mile swim is 2 laps of the Serpentine, starting and finishing at the same point, there are plenty of spots along the route for friends and family to cheer you on.
