Following a meeting between the Channel Swimming Association, Channel Crossing Association, Channel Swimming Pilotage Federation, Channel Swimming & Pilotage Services and Coastguards from France and the UK it has been agreed by all that the swim season will from now on be between 1st April and 31st October each year.
This is first and foremost to protect the safety and welfare of the swimmers and support craft involved. Swims outside of this period will not be accepted on the grounds of safety.
Congratulations to the 3 person British relay team B of AML Triathlon Club who successfully crossed the Channel on the 7th September in a time of 12hrs and 30mins (unratified). They were supported by their pilot Reg Brickell on Viking Princess.
Well done to the whole team from all at the CSA!
