There's a Cup for each Sunday and one for all seasons.
We started holding our Sunday morning races at Tooting Bec Lido in 1908.
The practice continues to this day, with the Right Honourable Handicapper
taking charge. His dream is that one day we will all touch together. Just
being there, we do that anyway.
Entrance to races is open to all paid up SLSC members. In order that the
handicappers can estimate a fair handicap for all swimmers, swimmers must
have participated in at least three races before they become eligible to
win a Cup. To be eligible to win the Christmas/New year cup(s) you must have swum in
three of the Autumn races. To be eligible to win Summer season cups you
must have swum in at least four races within the within the last 12 months.
Check the Club notice board at Tooting Bec Lido for information on how to enter these events or check out the 2008 Sunday Race List.
