An incredible turn out for the Mid Summer Relays at Tooting Bec Lido Swimming on Wednesday night. A total of 34 teams, each 4 strong, swam four lengths each, 16 in total. The strange thing though is the third swimmer actually does the last length. Weird maths.
Brockwell Swimmers entered two teams: one in the 100-150 age bracket and the other just tucked in under the 200 bracket. With so many swimmers in the water things did get a little chaotic sometimes, and with no markings at the bottom of the pool it was sometimes difficult to follow a straight line. A few bumps were had but because of the friendly spirit of the event this did not prove a problem.
OK, we might not have won anything, but what fun we had. Big thanks to the South London Swimming club for putting on another well organised event. Really looking forward to the next.
