Sat 7th August 2021

A group of people in swimsuits and orange swim caps stand in a lake near two blue Lechlade & District Lions Club banners, preparing for a swim event. Some hold floatation devices; the water is calm and clear. A wide lake under a partly cloudy sky, with people paddleboarding on the water and a small white hut with a flag on the pebbled shore to the left.
