Great video, I've got my channel crossing in July 2022 and hoping to complete my 6 hour qualifier in October

[@hughsellars7525]

Hope all goes well. Channel cooler in July but usually more settled, so could well be a good time to do it. I was steady but successful in my channel swim 3rd August which I am pleased about.

Congratulations Hugh, I've had to postpone my 6 hour swim by 1 week due to the weather making the lake water temp drop to 13.9°C!! Hopefully the weather holds off

@@Ryanx92 Hope all goes well. It does sound a bit chilly! For both my qualifying swim and channel swim I was cold in the morning and then gritted my teeth and thankfully warmed up in the afternoon. Remember seasickness meds for the channel. I found cyclizine worked well for me.
