hello am very intrested in swimming the english channel. I am very fit i do loads off swimming and cross country all the time. I was wondering to do i speek to about swimming the english channel?

Hello fraser, thanks for reading my article

You're a brave soul

I wouldn't want to swim through raw sewage or jellyfishnever mind dodge all those boats' propellors!

I reckon your first job would be to find a trustworthy soul happy to tag along with you in a boat to keep an eye on you, pass you drinking water & energy food, etc. Coastguard would be happy to have a call from you too. They would certainly need to know about your attempt. Other than that I don't have any advice, as I am just a Researcher who wrote up about the fascinating subject for the reading delight of my fellow hootooers & general surfing public, I've never done it myself nor know anyone who has.

Do let me know how you get on
