With a group of parents from school, I've joined a team of six middle aged enthusiasts, seeking to swim The Channel in September 2020 in a relay event, raising money for Aspire in the process. We have trained throughout lock down, using a carp lake near Staplehurst and Dover/Margate seafront for training. Water temperature hasn't always been that warm, but thankfully we completed our 2hr sea swim in 14C qualify temperature. Hoping the restrictions on swimming the Channel will be lifted soon, in time for our Sept crossing.
