I .... being of sound mind and body

The club's lovers of a bracing winter dip were not phased by the presence of ice on the surface of Tooting Lido this weekend.  To quote the Yorkshire Rippler ".. we swam at the other end, we're not daft!"

Killer 2015 - New TV friendly format

One life killer as usual but an unusual precision saw pretty much everyone go from the shooting line to the goal to the side of the pool in one single swim. The man from the North kept his cool(and his shoulder) and won his 4th title of the season.

In our own Avondale Killer Ryder cup , Europe now lead the Rest of the World by 73 points to 50.
