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.
DRIAN BROWN
Recently we learnt of the passing of one of our Channel Swimmers, Adrian Brown. He died very suddenly last weekend at age 56.
Many may know Adrian as he was often seen on Dover beach. He swam with the CSA when he was 50 in 14hrs and was planning another swim next year. His funeral is due to take place on the 3rd July.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.
