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.
It is with deep sadness that we have to report the death of Stuart Adams. He was a much loved crew member on board Sea Leopard and helped many swimmers achieve their dreams.
The President, the Board and all the members of the Channel Swimming Association send their deepest condolences to Stuart’s family.
