I'm a Channel Swimmer, AMA

[AtlasObscura]

Inspired by another thread and the Sink Or Swim Stand Up To Cancer programme.

I was part of a channel relay team in 2017 - it was terrifying and thrilling in equal measure and I haven't been back in the sea since

Ask me anything x

Would you do it again or have you got any other challenges planned?

I still swim once a week with them in the pool and have done couple of events over summer in local lakes and rivers

The only way I'd contemplate the channel again would be a solo swim because of the amount of sea sickness I experienced on the boat with the relay.

It would be slightly better in the water. But I'm not really sure I have it in me - I've always fancied doing the 6 hour qualifier for the solo swim so I could see how I get on with that first.

I've always had an urge deep down to do it, but at my age (late 40's) I'm not so sure now
