Greg Wood 4th in my heat at Red Bull Neptune Steps sooo hard!!! But brilliant

Hythe Aqua Channel Swim Team On Friday 19th August 2016 the Hythe Aqua Channel Swim Team got their slot to swim. Setting off at 12.20 Thursday night and arriving at Cap Gris Nez at 9.40am (ish) English time, they have now swum to France! One thing’s for sure, it was certainly an adventure. Being awake for 36 hours, experiencing SEVERE sea sickness and contending with LOTS of jellyfish throughout the night and morning we definitely deserve the title of channel swimmers. The tide was big (6.7m) hence the big curve in our route. The time wasn’t exactly what we wanted but 9hr 27min is the quickest crossing of 2016 so far. What an awesome experience for such a good cause
