We have booked a few lanes at Charlton Lido (SE18 4LX) to swim 100 x 100m (or as many as you can manage in four hours) this Sunday, 1 March, starting at 1pm.

This is a limited entry event with 30 places in total and is open to anyone who wants to challenge themselves to a 10km pool swim and meet and swim with some of the Outdoor Swimmer team.

Afterwards we've reserved the pool cafe where we can recover and chat about swimming. Joanne and Simon from Outdoor Swimmer will be there to answer your questions about long distance and Channel swimming and open water racing. After that, we plan to go to a local pub

 - Nutrition provided by Clif and Voom

- Prize draw entry with chance to win a Selkie kit bag, a Selkie hat or one of five pairs of Nike swim goggles.

- Post-swim snacks

After the swim there will be an informal Q&A with Joanne and Simon from the Outdoor Swimmer team. Bring along your questions about long distance swimming and open water racing, or just tell us what you'd like to see in future issues of Outdoor Swimmer magazine.
