1933 Break Cold Kenwood Kingfishers Swimming

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - quite literally. In 1933, the brave ladies of the Kingfishers Club of north London are breaking up ice on the surface of Kenwood's cold waters before taking a dip. The historical significance of this image is palpable, as it offers a glimpse into the unique sporting activities and traditions of an era long gone. The determination and spirit of these women shine through as they prepare to swim in icy water, defying both the freezing temperatures and societal norms that may have deemed such activities unconventional for ladies at that time. Their camaraderie and love for sport are evident in their actions, showcasing a sense of unity and strength among members of this exclusive club. As we gaze upon this striking photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we can't help but be transported back to a bygone era where courage and resilience were valued traits. It serves as a reminder that history is not just about dates and events, but also about the people who lived it - like these fearless swimmers who dared to challenge themselves in the face of adversity.
