Steve, Carl and Nic are swimming the English Channel in August!

We will swim for an hour each at a time, attempting to cover the 21 miles (33 km) across the world's business shipping lane and are aiming to join the committed group of around 300 people who successfully swim the Channel each year.

As Oxfordshire residents, we are keen to support a local charity and have chosen to raise funds for Sobell House Hospice. Sobell House provides compassionate care to people in Oxfordshire facing life-limiting illness, and support to their family and friends.
