Channel swim

A Channel swim involves crossing the English Channel, which connects southern England to northern France, by swimming. It's a challenging long-distance open-water event covering about 21 miles (34 kilometers). Swimmers face cold temperatures, strong currents, and unpredictable weather. Preparation requires rigorous training, mental endurance, and support teams for navigation and safety. Successfully completing a Channel swim is considered a significant achievement in open-water swimming, demonstrating exceptional stamina, resilience, and skill against natural elements.
