This is a promotion for a Discovery Channel program in the UK called "London Ink." According to Spluch:"... A large statue of a man swimming through the grass on the South Bank of the River Thames is unveiled, Tuesday Sept. 18, 2007. The fixture, near Tower Bridge, shown in the background, was commissioned by TV channel The Discovery Channel to promote its newest reality show, 'London Ink'. ..."
If you are going to go to the expense of making a swimming behemoth, at least get his reach right. Look how short it is. The artist was obviously not a swimmer.

He's obviously doing a finger-drag drill.
Aaaah...but just right for the beginning of the finger tip drill!
On second thought he's not trailing his arm nearly enough. And his head is almost out of the water - you're right, he is a tyro.

I think the hand entry point is fine. He's setting himself up for a good early vertical forearm postion.
Awesome. Though I am stinking he is a triathlete
That is the exact spot where David Blaine spent 40 days living in a glass box suspended 40 feet in the air back in 2003. I am sure this mannequin is probably proving as popular as Mr Blaine.
