Freak Accident - Swimming The English Channel Solo - Chris' Story

Check out my story of swimming 21 miles across the English Channel, solo on August 25th 2017.

Thank you to everyone that donated. Together, we raised £23,500 for Dreams Come True childrens charity. www.dreamscometrue.uk.com

A big thank you to Fred & Harry Mardle for some awesome piloting, Red Top Swim, my family & friends, my coach's, Matt & Tim, my nutritionist, Tara, Alex Tyrwhitt for the footage and Matt Aland for the photos. Thank you to my sponsors E.W BODMAN, Les Roches Switzerland, Orlebar Brown and Nutristrength.

What happened on the first attempt was a freak accident. The prop shaft sheer'd off the engine. We did not hit rocks or get caught in anything like we thought at first.
