Hi Pam I will freeze beside you, I swam from Buscott to Grafton Lock and unfortunately that has been my only stretch of the Thames so far. The 3rd should be fun......

Join hundreds as they take the plunge on Saturday 3rd December at the annual Outdoor Swimming Society's December Dip. Whether you're a seasoned wild swimmer, a newcomer looking to 'dip your toe' or just after the ultimate hangover cure, the art deco Parliament Hill Lido will be the place to get your fix. As well as your special seasonal swimming hat, expect some inspiring speakers, yummy hot food, a sneaky tipple, the celebrated hot tub and a full brass band to cheer you on, or should we say in. And then, as one, we'll take to the pool for a bracing couple of widths - guaranteed to get the blood pumping, skin tingling and make everyone high for the rest of the day, if not the weekend. Saturday 3rd December 11am-1pm Parliament Hill Lido, Gordon House Road, London, NW5 1LP Swimmers tickets cost £15, and spectators welcome for a donation on the door. It would be fun if we had a cohort from the Swim the Thames group. I will go so long as some others come along to freeze beside me.
