Brockwell Lido Breakfast Club 2007!

[RubyToogood]

I was going past the Lido the other day wishing I could go for a swim. However....

 

[Ms Ordinary]

The January swim was described as a one-off though - called something like the "Winter Record-Breaking Swim" or the "Lido World Championship" or something (tongue in cheek I presume) & everyone would swim one width of the lido - I think it was Tooting come to think of it though don't know if its actually going to happen.

They're hosting the World Winter Swimming Championships in Feb - maybe that's what you're thinking of...

anyone want to win £600?

"Water Performance Competition
The water performance competition consists of teams of between 3 and 20 people who put on a performance lasting between 2 and 5 minutes. At least 3 members of the team must enter the water during the performance. You can have crazy costumes, hilarious hats, a storyline and music (see rules for swimmers for further details). A prize of £600 will be awarded to the winning team"

I did it - with no wetsuit and the worst hangover of 2007 and an ever-worsening cold.

I felt momentarily invigorated and full of life.

But now I feel like crap again..

Well that was 'challenging.' I wimped out wearing a wetsuit. Still shivering. It was a wonderful morning though and hopefully the first of an annual outing for the Brockwell Icicles. Well done BLU and Fusion for making this happen.

I've posted some pictures up over HERE.

Hmmmm......I like the idea of the winter performance with costumes etc. Let's enter!
