The Castle Swim Series - Hever Castle

Sat 28th September 2024

A large group of people gather in front of historic ruins with elegant columns and arches, next to a reflective pond under a clear blue sky, surrounded by lush greenery. The scene suggests a celebratory event or gathering. An aerial view of a large lake surrounded by trees and a historic building in the background. Numerous swimmers in wetsuits are participating in an organized swim event, marked by colorful buoys. Several kayakers are present, providing support and guidance. A victorious athlete, drenched in sweat, triumphantly holds up a finishing tape after completing a race. Crowds of cheering spectators and purple banners with "Castle Race Series" branding surround the finish line. The athlete wears a black outfit and a race number. A smiling person wearing a light blue hoodie and sunglasses on their head holds a medal and an envelope against a purple backdrop that reads "CASTLE RACE SERIES" several times. The person is also wearing a blue lanyard around their neck.
