In the first week of June, 4 intrepid swimmers will be aiming to swim in relay between Dover and Calais. Each team member will swim for an hour in succession until they reach the shores of France. This will be a tough swim as at the start of the season the temperature of the English Channel will only be between 12° and 14° and it could take up to 18 + hours to complete, but hopefully less.

The team members are: SaTH's very own Melissa Compton, Keith Clarke, Emma Heggenbath, Janet Mills and in reserve Karin Daelemans.

The team have been training throughout the winter to make sure they are ready to take on this demanding challenge.
