Hello everyone,

The English Channel swim is seen as the Mount Everest of all swims as more people have climbed Mount Everest than have swum the English Channel. Swimmers will take part in a relay team of 6 from Dover to France, with the swim taking 12 - 18 hours. The 6 person relay team will each swim for 1 hour in the busiest shipping route in the world. Battling strong currents, jellyfish and everything else the Channel can throw at us.

I am thrilled to be participating in the SwimTayka English Channel Relay 2025, a remarkable event that aims to raise funds for SwimTayka, a cause close to my heart. As part of this incredible swimming challenge in July 2025, I am dedicated to reaching our fundraising goal of £1,800. Your support will make a real difference in providing swimming lessons and environmental education to underprivileged children around the world. Together, we can create positive change and empower these young individuals for a brighter future.

This is the reason I chose to Swim with SwimTayka https://swimtayka.org/

Drowning is a silent epidemic that claims an estimated 360,000 lives every year, many of them children.

Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide. These are wasted lives and preventable deaths. SwimTayka's mission is to give disadvantaged communities around the world access to swimming teachers who can not only provide the life skills of swimming but create a legacy for today's children, who will grow up to teach the next generation.
