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.

The President, the Board and members of The Channel Swimming Association are deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty The Queen and would like to offer our sincere condolences to the Royal Family at this extremely difficult time.
Queen Elizabeth was the Grandmother of the nation, a lady of unmatched dignity, compassion, warmth and grace. A monarch with constancy and wisdom. Much loved by her subjects and many people around the World.
