English Channel Distance Swim

English Channel Distance Swim Help English Channel Distance Swim Award! 14 competitors, started over 4 years ago

The most common English Channel route is 2l miles (33795.3 meters). Since most swimming pools are measured in meters, I have set the challenge up using kilometers for easier conversion and I have set the finish distance for 33.80 km. It does not matter if you swim this in a pool or open water, you can enter your distance on the challenge page or in your swimming workout. Note: if you swim an average of 1500 meters a day you should finish in a little over 22 days, or you could try to best the actual channel record of 6:57:50! The challenge begins August 1st.

Congratulations to StevenG! They won this challenge on November 07, 2008.

Well the bike time should help prevent the webbing from growing between the toes. ;)

Yeah, starting late…. it is going to be tough to catch up and give you competition. I think I need to put some more air in my floaties.

It will not be that difficult stansj, I only got in two 30 minute swims last week. You could catch up with four strong outings. :)

DaveCurzon is here…. oh no! I hope he doesn’t swim like he cycles… otherwise, I am going to need to get a jet pack or something.

Stansj, Dave has been MIA for three weeks. So you can get a good head start on him. :)

Come on @gouldjg, clearly Stansj and I are not being pushed hard enough. We need you to put in some laps at the pool. :)
