information here Basically you swim the distance of the channel in your local pool over 12 weeks (15 Sept - 7 Dec) and raise money for people with spinal injuries.
I haven't registered yet as I'm trying to find a way to do it. Our local public pools shut at 7pm most nights and I need to swim later than that. I reckon I'll need to go about 3 times a week to get the required number of weekly lengths in.
However, if I can join a swimming club or find an affordable gym to join I will do it.
Wondered if anyone else was up for it or into providing mutual encouragement......
