The Team & The Challenge

Anyone interested in swimming the Channel for Aspire? We are!!

Who'd have thought in back in October when we were first approached by Aspire, that there'd have been 5 other people as keen to swim the 21miles of the English Channel as part of a relay. Well, there was, and so the story begins:

Our SRLV team consists of:
Taras "The Tidal Wave" Fellah
James "Able" Gable,
Tarkan "The Machine" Husseyin
Adam "The Muscle" Stanley,
Yvette "Ariel" Du Preez & Beth Malin.

Rosie Williams is our team coach/boat captain and mentor.

Once called the "Everest of Swimming", swimming the Channel is still one of the most challenging and sought after events in the world. Twice the number of people have climbed Everest than have successfully swum the Channel. Making Aspire's Real Channel Swim, something really very special.

Diary Dates

These are our scheduled training weekends:

7/8 May, Brighton: A nice low key start to our organised open water swims

4/5 June, Dover: Home of Channel Swimming

2/3 July, Dover: With a view to perhaps completing our mandatory 2 hour swim

August, Dover: To be decided.

18th September Tide: The Swim!
