The Channel Swim

Thank you for visiting my giveasyoulive page.  As you may know I have always wanted to swim the English channel and it has been one of my dreams for a long time. As soon as the opportunity arose at my school I jumped on the chance and am very excited to be training in the lead up to this event.

This is a team relay swim where 6 students will work on a rotation basis of 1 hour in the water at a time until we reach our destination....
FRANCE!

This is approximately a 21 mile swim setting off in Dover, currently due to take place in June 2027 and is expected to take approximately 12-16 hours. The challenge is a non wet suit swim where we will have to endure and overcome swimming in darkness in the cold deep channel, battling against rough seas and strong tides and currents. Also the very high possibility of being stung by jellyfish!

In order to qualify for this event I have made a considerable commitment to training where I will be swimming a minimum of 3 times per week along with regular cold open water training.

The school team consists of children between the ages of 12 and 18 where all money raised will go towards school projects that will benefit all current and future students.

Thank you for taking time to read my page and any donations will be greatly received from the Anglo European School Association.
