Swimathon has lidos and open water venues
“A good day is a one swim day, a great day is a two swim day.” Fortyfour years on from winning gold in the 100m breaststroke at the Moscow Olympics, Duncan Goodhew is as in love with swimming as he ever was. Our most recognisable Olympian has dedicated his career to promoting swimming and its benefits. And it is a love that extends to open water as well as pool swimming.
“I split my time between pool swimming and open water swimming,” says Duncan, who is a member of the Serpentine Swimming Club in London’s Hyde Park. He swims all year round in the Serpentine lake, breaking the ice in winter.
