Story

Our first successful night swim was achieved after a lovely meal and then into the sea.

We have been very busy training for our channel swim, with visits to swim in the sea. We have been double dipping. Swimming getting out for an hour and back in again. What started out as a blustery, choppy start, turned into a sunny end by the second dip.

We are a group of swimming friends who after doing the polar bear and penguin challenge of swimming through the winter. Decided what challenge can we do next, relay across the channel.
