“A friend invited me, I wasn’t sure, but now I just feel amazing” - Sarah, first Serotonin Swim time last Sunday
Looking forward to seeing you anytime 9am - 11am this Sunday 15th OCT for the second Serotonin Swim of the year at the historic Jesus Green Lido.
Swim 1 length or more. Get your swim tracker card stamped. And of course an edible reward or thank you card (your choice) - 1 length is all it takes!
Amazing effort last weekend! 112 Serotonin Swimmers! A new record!
Could you help? Please send this invite to one person today. They might not come but an invitation is a simple way to say ‘someone cares’.

Water will be about 15 degrees. Sunshine forecast. Sauna ready.
You work so hard. You are doing your best. That’s enough.
