For more and more people it is clearly the cool way to start Christmas Day, so cool, in fact, as to be positively freezing. Members of the Serpentine Swimming Club swim in the icy Serpentine waters during the annual Christmas Day Peter Pan Cup on December 25.
The traditional 100 yards Christmas race got its name in 1904 after Sir James Barrie presented the first Peter Pan Cup and is only open to club members who have competed in at least three of the winter series races
Swimmers braved the chilly weather to enjoy a festive dip in the Serpentine at Hyde Park.
