Swim the English Challenge Results

In January we began our 22 mile swimming challenge taking you from Dover across the English Channel to Calais.

This distance in the pool is a demanding test of your swimming endurance, which we gave you until the end of March to reach.

68 of you made it 11 miles, half way across the channel, which is no mean feat.

An incredible 39 of you managed to complete the full distance, huge congratulations go out to everyone who managed this.

A special mention goes out to David Wood who through regular swims of two miles almost every day since January managed to reach a phenomenal 167 miles! Well done David.

We hope you enjoyed participating in this challenge, keep on the lookout for more swimming challenges coming in the near future.
