Ian looking all relaxed on his way to Samphire Hoe for the start of his channel swim.

Ian greasing up and raring to go

Waiting our turn to start the swim. The Sea is looking lovely and the sun us shining.

60 strokes a minute going steady



1 hr in and going steady

A few waves to swim through as the ship gets up close. Ian is 1/2 mile from the s/w lane

Still swimming strong with the sun shining on his back.

Sadly Ian's swim has had to be aborted due to severe cramp. Ian put in an amazing effort all day and swam strong. Well done Ian, you done great.
