After our swimming session we book (for the RSVPs) a big table in the outdoor area of The Lido Café at 11am so join us for coffee and a cake (plus brunch if you are hungry). We take it in turns to bake a cake so are always looking out for new and crafty bakers to feed us hungry swimmers. If you're game here is our cake baking schedule (https://goo.gl/Pm85a1), pick an empty date, pop your name on the spreadsheet and make Mary Berry proud. Please do remember to pay for your food and drinks! Our uncoached swimming session is a great opportunity to get in those distance swims, or just get used to the water without the pressure of a structured session. Please use our allocated lane observing pool etiquette which you can find here. Please do wear your yellow Windrush swimming hat too so it’s clear who’s a club member. These can be bought poolside from Simon the Swim captain for £5 or from our kit shop here.
