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.
Well done to Tudor Morris, British, who swam from England to France in 15hrs and 53mins. He began his swim yesterday 26th July at 09.37hrs landing in the early hours of this morning 01.30hrs. The pilot was Andy King on Louise Jane Charter. Congratulations to Tudor and all the crew!
