Children's Air Ambulance is holding a Channel Swim Relay event between the 4th and 8th of September covering 22 miles between Dover and Calais, with 4 teams of six, swimmers will take it in turn to swim the channel in rotation.

Story

Driven by a desire to help save young lives, three/four teams of swimmers will attempt to complete one of the most gruelling feats of human endeavour when they swim the English Channel in aid of the Childrens Air Ambulance.

Nearly 146 years after Captain Matthew Webb became the first person to complete the swim from Dover to Calais, three/four teams of six will navigate the 22.5-mile stretch as a relay in an effort to raise vital funds for the national lifesaving charity.

The swimmers will become part of a worldwide family of people who have conquered the famed stretch of water, home to the worlds busiest shipping lanes, but more than that they will help to keep families together through supporting the critical work of the Childrens Air Ambulance.
