We are one 13 + two 14year olds who swam the Channel from England to France in15 hours and 25 minutes on 25th September 2009, in aid of Hospice in the Weald as part of a six person relay team, for a worthy charity close to our hearts. This was an enormous challenge for us all both mentally and physically, but something we were determined to do. It involved four months of ongoing training swimming across Dover harbour in preparation for us to swim in extreme conditions. We left from a beach close to Dover at 3.10pm taking it in turns to swim 1 hour each all through the night arriving on a beach in France at 6.35am. We felt seasick, one of our team was stung in the face and side by jellyfish and we were told they were bigger and more numerous than usual, we had very little sleep and on many occasions we did not want to get into the sea, but WE DID AND WE MADE IT !
