One of my favourite Christmas Day traditions. Great to be back at the newly reopened Tooting Bec Lido for their Christmas Day Race - wrapped up warm whilst cheering on those brave enough to take part! #ChristmasDay ✨️ #LoveLondon 🏊

So unbelievably happy to be back @slsclido for a #Solstice swim. How lucky are we! The leaves blowing into the pool were a bonus.

I had a swift dip on the shortest day at the newly reopened @slsclido. Lovely new paving, pool lining and murals. Thanks to @wandbc for putting the capital spend in. It’s never easy to make the case but the pleasure for locals will make it more than worthwhile.
