What's The Value of Clubs?

At 100 yards in length, Tooting Bec Lido is - to my knowledge - the largest pool in Britain.

It opened in 1906.

Within months, the South London Swimming Club was formed.

The club has been holding weekly Sunday morning races ever since.

Including today.

Having been a member since 2019, I’d say all power…

To #consistency

To volunteers everywhere

To the all-round value of clubs

To a sense of belonging.

To exercise.

To a love of the outdoors, whether in or out of water.

And to sanity - even/especially when the water’s cold!
