We have teamed up with a very\u00a0experienced crew including a past channel swimmer, who&#8217;s experience\u00a0will become vital during long, open water sea sessions and on the big day itself.<\/p>\n<p>We will have a team of up to 10 people on board our support boat, plus crew members to help me get from Dover, U.K. to Calais, France. These 10 people will have an important role to play; preparing and supplying food and drink within the space of 30 second gaps, as well as psychological\u00a0support throughout the long swim. They are my pit crew for each of my hourly 30 second pit stops with no\u00a0physical\u00a0contact with the boat or members allowed.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for all the support and keep an eye out for up coming blogs!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to a very special announcement from myself and the team!
