Cross Channel Swim
It’s ON! We met this morning on the pontoon for an approximate 5.30am start to swim across the English Channel.
We are 4 friends, chasing our dream of swimming across the English Channel and raising money for a charity very close to our hearts.
Swimmers: Gabs Little | Roger Heale | Monica Browning & me (we will swim in this order the whole way) 🏊♀️🏊
Swim rotation & rules: each swimmer will swim for 1 hour only, then rotate to the next swimmer until we reach France. Swimmers must not touch the boat or another swimmer unless entering or leaving the boat.
Vessel: Pathfinder with captain: Eric Hartley
Official CSA (channel swimming association) observer: John Symonds
Super support on board: Delphi Little!🙏 (one of Gabs’ amazing daughters’ who has been with us all week!)
Distance: approximately 33 km (21 miles)
Route: Dover to Cap Griz Nez (or nearby!)
Live Tracker: there are two links below:
This is Pathfinder (OUR BOAT ONLY) Link: https://lnkd.in/ek_g3XTn – scroll down to the bottom, and the map will be *live* only when Eric turns on the tracker at approx 5am. It refreshes every 5 minutes.
The general link for all channel swimming boats is here: https://lnkd.in/eaQBeANh – a list will appear at the bottom when all boats are out, with the boats labelled on the map. (So you can track our competition too! 😉)
Thank you again for all of those who have already so generously donated to the Splash Foundation a charity close to our hearts. Please keep the donations coming donate here: https://lnkd.in/guvWPm85
