This is good news\, as you are less likely to pick up an injury compared to other sports. However\, you should not enter your first open water event without having swum outdoors previously. Start off gradually and build up the distance. \nThe two-mile swim will cover a challenging two full (1.6km) laps of the Serpentine. You should aim to swim at least twice a week or more and one of these swims should be outdoors where possible. \nTo train for an open water swim\, you need to consider two aspects of the event: \n\nBeing swim fit: the easiest way to become swim fit is to regularly use a swimming pool or lido\, where you can practise your technique and enhance your fitness.\nBeing acclimatised to swimming outdoors: you should be comfortable swimming in all conditions and be mindful that there will be other swimmers in close proximity to you.\n\n  \nThe London Classics’ medal\nHave you already run the London Marathon\, and cycled the Ride London 100? Completing the Swim Serpentine 2027 will allow you to claim a London Classic’s Medal. Join the elite club of people who have run\, cycled and swum the capital’s most famous mass participation events.  The three events can be completed in any order\, in any time period\, and in 2027\, riders can substitute RideLondon for the 2027 Etape Loch Ness as part of their London Classics. \nSo if you ran the London Marathon back in the Nineties and only got into long-distance cycling recently\, you’d still qualify for the London Classics if you took the plunge and swam two miles at Swim Serpentine. Once you have your medal\, you’ll also be listed in the London Classics Hall of Fame.
