GENERAL INFORMATION FOR
THE MECCA OF ALL DISTANCE SWIMS -
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL
-
Preparation,
preparation
and preparation.
-
Allow
sufficient time to become acclimatised to local waters. The Channel is
like no other distance swims!
-
Channel
conditions are dictated by the weather and can change at any moment.
-
Swim
dates are only ever approximate and subject to change, due to conditions in
the Channel.
-
Remember
the sacrifices you have made to get to this point in time! Be patient
and wait for the right conditions - Failure is not an option!
-
Seek
feeding advice and practice your feeding technique over and over
again. Do not waste time during the swim as this will effect the
outcome of the swim in French waters, with the tides.
-
The
support boat and captain are there to help; seek their advice and learn from
their experience gained from escorting previous swimmers.
-
Bring
with you the people you need to assist with the swim. Too many people
can prove a distraction to the challenge in front of you.
-
When
seeking a place to stay, always seek accommodation which is sympathetic to
Channel Swimmers.
-
Finally,
self-catering accommodation is the best option, as you can come and go as
you like and look after your own particular dietary requirements in the
build-up to the swim of a lifetime.
