Every Christmas day since 1864, the Serpentine Swimming Club have braved the icy waters of Hyde Park’s Serpentine lake for an unusual prize. The swimmers race for the Peter Pan Cup (as presented by the author J.M. Barrie in 1904) which is awarded to the first one over the 100 yard mark.
They’re not the only ones either. In Brighton, the members of Brighton’s Swimming Club go for a morning dip in the sea. It’s now turned into a big spectator event, with hundreds of visitors watching from the seafront each year. Maybe they’re just trying to avoid cooking the turkey?
There are plenty more where they come from too. Click here to see if there’s a swim near you.
