Penguins rule the waves


Masters Swimming, Open Water Swimming, Penguin 100 Centenary

On Sunday 17 July 2022 a posse of Penguin masters swimmers returned to Herne Bay for the annual Active Life Pier to Pier swim, this year joined by some of our water polo girls.

In contrast to the grey skies and cold wind that dominated the swim last summer, it was cloudless sunshine all the way this time.

We had swimmers in all three distances – 750m, 1,5k and 3k – and we rounded things off with fish and chips on the beach afterwards. (And we may have snuck in some ice creams too!)

What a fab day!
