"Channel 5" kicked off their relay
crossing of the
After each swim, we captured some thoughts
from the swimmers and here they are unedited!
Julian report for first swim (hour #1):
"Bit choppy to start as waves bounced off the cliffs of
Mike Denbigh swam second (hour #2):
"It remains fairly choppy. Distance to other relay reduced to 100m (but
they have now switched to their other swimmer!). Water was a good temperature.
Swallowed lots to test it. Disappointed that Backgammon not ready when I got
out"
Third swimmer was Kevan
Sharp (hour #3):
"It was difficult to get used to the swell and waves coming at you. After
about 5 minutes, I found a rhythm. Found the hour went very quickly. The
Fourth swimmer was Sue Hart (hour #4):
"Compared to the harbour, I got
washed around a lot like being in a washing machine. I was alright when I first
jumped in but then I really panicked-I'm not going to be able to do it!! Then I
got into a rhythm and I was fine. I couldn't hear anything much from the boat.
But I could see everyone who was watching and could recognise the voices!"
Fifth swimmer was
"Much less choppy than I
expected. Hour flew by. It was great to watch the smiling faces on the boat.
But b*****y glad that I'm not doing the full 14 hours"
And then we were back to the start again.
Other relay still in sight and Julian is back in to try to catch them (hour
#6):
"After 4 hours on the boat, it
is nearly a relief to get back in the water. I dive in to impress the crowds
and goggles come off. Water temperature hasn't improved in the last few hours
and 1 hour seems quite a long time again. Do the counting to 100 for each 5
minutes. Then realise that will have to count to 1200 for the hour! But soon
out, the competitors a bit closer and it is over to Mike for the glory of
catching them! Onward into the separation zone"
Mike Denbigh returns to the Channel to
close the gap on Guillivant (hour #7):
"Didn't kick much because of
fear of cramp. Good to see smiley faces on boat. Second outing was slightly
colder but somehow easier. Must be the euphoria. Definitely easier in the water
than on the boat. Thought of Jelly Babies kept me going!"
Seasickness count: 1 person 2x & a
couple of "solos". Lots of swell means unlikely to be the last!
Kevan was next up (hour #8):
"Swim was fine but kept getting
caught by waves when breathing. Waves were coming at me in perfect harmony!
Every breath seemed to be water! The result was that I was sick about 5 times.
Stamina-wise I am okay but purely the sickness that is affecting me. Now it is
a mental challenge for me to see how far I can go."
Sue then followed (hour #9):
"I didn't want to go in. I was
really scared of the waves and of getting really cold. But once I was in it was
okay. I thought about everybody. Thought about Alison Streeter who has done it
43 times and Ellen Macarthur. And just kept going. I missed the 45 minute
signal cos I thought Julian was signalling something
about my stroke!"
Andy swam the 10th leg (hour #10):
"Sun came out. Hit a fantastic rhythm and overtook the other relay. MUCH
better than the first leg because stroke worked harder (and much less paniced!). Breathing also settled down and less phased by
the waves covering me. Now hoping for glory leg up on to the beach!"
Julian returned for 3rd set of swims
(hour #11):
"Sun on the back made a huge difference. Only problem was that it is
descending in the west where the wind is coming from. So the boat shielding me
from the wind also obstructed the sun. So I moved either further away from the
boat or swam slightly behind (trading diesel fumes for sun!)"
Mike swam the 12th leg (hour #12):
"It was the best of the 3 legs.
Romantic with the sun behind the boat. Water warm in patches and the end in
sight (we hope)"
Kevan was next for his 3rd leg and the 13th hour:
"With
"It was great to see
Andy completed the 3rd swims and the 15th
hour:
"The sun was setting as I got
in. I had to wear a lightstick on my goggle strap so
that the boat could see me easily in the dusk. I knew it was important to make
as much progress as possible since we were rapidly heading east with tides and
might end up in
Julian started the 4th swims and the 16th
hour:
"Andy had fought hard against the tide but it was so strong that we had
mainly moved sideways.
Mike entered the water 0.9 nm from the
shore and the 17th hour:
"Couldn't see much as I entered the water but we could smell
The crossing lasted 16 hours 50 minutes. Each team member was pushed to the end of their
reserves but the support from emails & texts kept them going through the
low points. We were even featured on
In the end it was a fantastic experience
over a long year of training and even longer 17 hours of swim (+3 hours back to
Channel 5 Relay: Team member reflections
Below are the thoughts of the individual
team members, reflecting on what the swim meant to them looking back (from the
safety of land!). They are ordered as always by swim order! Which means I
always get to go first!!
Julian Critchlow (swimmer #1)
At the end of my 2004 solo swim, I felt a
completeness that I have rarely felt. A long term aim, concluded. In a very
satisfying time. With a good amount of money raised for 2 charities. I could
tick “Swim the
But most of all, after all the pressure of
the training and the sponsorship raising, now I was free. It was akin to a
“post-exam freedom”. I didn’t need to go down to
But soon I was back at work and my rigorous
training regime was forgotten. My body knew it, losing fitness fast and putting
on weight. After a year of periodic attendance at the gym, I realised that it
would have to be back to the pool. So in mid 2005, I started Sunday mornings in
the pool – as soon as it opened at 7:30am, I would be in the door and
then I could complete my swim and be back home for 9am to cook Sarah and the
children a traditional Sunday cooked breakfast.
I was joined in my Sunday swims at first by
Mike Denbigh, and then later by Sue Hart, 2 parents of children at the local
Primary School which my own children attend. Initially their motivation was to
train for the Sevenoaks Triathlon but one evening, Mike came up with the idea
of doing a Channel Relay on behalf of the school. His wife, Liz Denbigh,
subsequently added the idea of supporting a national children’s charity
as well - Starlight Children’s Foundation which helps alleviate the lives
of terminally ill children.
Somehow this idea stuck and we were soon
recruiting additional team members. Ideally you need 6 for the
“traditional” channel relay but you can do the crossing with any
number of swimmers and be classified as a “special relay”. In the
school yard, we quickly signed up
I hadn’t really intended doing another
swim but figured that a relay would only mean around 3 hour long swims so
wouldn’t require the same level of training as 2004. However, borrowing a
practice from my solo swim, I initiated early on monthly team meetings with
formal “agendas” to ensure everyone stayed focused on the task in
hand. The meetings were held at one family’s house, everyone brought food
and, despite the abuse that I received over the “agendas” were
always good social evenings with an element of work attached.
The monthly meetings were important to
reinforce the training regime (laid out in “anally retentive”
detail at the first meeting) and to ensure fund raising started early with
“informative” emails to friends and clients. Although for some team
members (Liz, Mike, Sarah & Tracey), the dinners repeated content from my
solo swim (e.g. preparation for seasickness, dependency on weather & tide etc)
for most team members it was all new. A few DVDs thrown in (the Eton v
My personal experience of the training
though was completed different. Instead of forcing myself into 3 hour pool
sessions or 6 hour cold water sessions at
The day itself was also entirely different.
The build-up to a potential “early season” attempt – with the
last minute hassles involved in 5 families being farmed out at the eleventh
hour so we could head down to
But the worst was the dawning awareness, as
dark set in, that everyone would need to swim a fourth time. Everyone had
prepared for 3 swims – but not 4. And in the last 2 hours of the 3rd
swims, we had not got any closer to
A team swim is so, so different from a solo.
It is tougher in many unexpected ways. But to see the team accomplish its
common aim was just as satisfying as any solo accomplishment.
Mike Denbigh (#2)
Background
- Oct 05-ish
So here we are, a group of parents looking
for ways to raise money for the local village school, something unusual,
something which will hopefully inspire people to put their hands in their
pockets a little deeper than usual.
But what?
One of the parents in the village swam
the channel solo last year and raised loads, so what if a group of parents did
the same but as a relay?!
The idea was born and within days a team of
5 village school parents were coerced to undertake this quest. Key to the
success was Julian, he fitted every criteria required, he had swam the channel
as a solo swimmer, he was a parent of the school and he had the planning
abilities and enthusiasm needed to complete the task.
Reality
Dawns Nov - Mar 05/06
So how hard can it be? 5 people each swim an
hour in rotation across a stretch of water. On the face of it it sounds not too unrealistic. BUT, Julian was quick to
inject some reality into the situation.
You have to be committed to train for hours
and hours every week for months!
You have to be prepared for the cold (And I
mean freezing cold)
You have to be mentally tough (Something you
don’t really appreciate until much later).
You have to forget that you will be swimming
in potentially unpleasant water.
You have to shut out the fact that this is
the busiest shipping lane in the world.
You have to be prepared to be very
uncomfortable and potentially sea sick when waiting your turn in the water.
You must not allow yourself to succumb to
your fears.
Etc.etc….
The upshot is- YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED.
What seemed like an exciting thing to do
suddenly was very daunting.
Training
– Oct 05 – July 06
If I was training alone it wouldn’t
have happened. To get up and allocate time each week to swim endless number of
lengths can be mind numbingly boring. However, to do it with 3 to 4 others made
it bearable. Especially as over the initial months of pool training we could
all see improvements in stamina and technique. For some the improvement was awe
inspiring (Sue Hart – the smallest and the bravest of us all, by miles)
and for others the injection of a
bit of healthy competition never goes amiss.
By April we had progressed as far as we
needed in the pool and our attentions turned to
Again, having someone like Julian leading us
meant those sorts of ideas were quickly quashed.
The shivering and shaking, the loss of
speech and dexterity through cold is not something you can prepare for. This is
where mental toughness (or stupidity) comes to the fore. The old adage no pain
no gain has never rung truer but the gain is months away and the pain is
constant if not slowly diminishing as the weeks pass.
Until the day of the swim you never really
appreciate the benefit derived from swimming in
Key
to Success - Support
Without large amounts of support from
family, friends, fellow swimmers, people on the beach dressing you, people on
the boat encouraging you, feeding you, laughing with you it just won’t
happen.
It was very humbling and uplifting to
receive so many words of encouragement from a vast cross section of people. You
do get a sense of the enormity of the feat you’re preparing for.
The companionship between swimmers is very
special; to see familiar faces descending the beach to enter those chilling
waters each week creates a feeling of one big happy family, even if it seems
like the
The
Swim
To get an overall feel of the day then
please read the reports (Julian’s work, again).
For me it was a case of getting my mind well
and truly focussed on the job at hand. I felt slightly selfish in that my
priority was to swim and not be the cause of the Team to fail, rather than be
100% a team player, if that makes sense. Swimming alongside a boat is a little
unsettling, not really knowing if you’re covering much distance or if
you’re going in the right direction is frustrating. But you do and you
generally are. Beware though, once you start powering through the waves you
can’t make out a word of what’s being shouted at you from those on
board.
The conditions on the day were bad, the
crossing slower than any expected and to end up swimming in the dark (as a few
of us had to), slightly disorientated, not able to hear what people were
shouting and knowing France is getting very close is a lot to adjust to. That
said the delight of clambering up the harbour wall at
If you’re thinking of swimming the
channel then I wish you good luck, it’s definitely worth doing.
Kevan Sharp (#3)
Having left work late on Wednesday evening,
I received a phone call from our team Captain (Julian) to say that, if we all
could make it, the swim would be tomorrow (Thursday)! He would pick me up at
04:30 the following morning to start the swim at 06:00. Made a few frantic
phone calls to ensure it was okay to take a day (or two) off then phoned back
to confirm okay.
As arranged, picked up at crack of dawn and
drove bleary eyed down to Dover. Weather looked good all the way
there….until we reached Dover, where - not for the first time - it was
fairly overcast, windy and generally not a very nice day. The boat pilot was
unsure if the weather was good enough to even attempt the crossing. The wind
and water swell were at the very maximum of allowable weather conditions with
variable force 3 winds.
We decided to travel round to the departure
point on Shakespeare Beach to see for ourselves what the conditions were like.
We were very sceptical as the support boat was being thrown about by the swell.
However apparently the swell is worse close to the shore as
the wave get deflected back off the shore/harbour walls.
We arrived at the beach and after a few
moments thought the pilot turned to us and passed the buck squarely into our
court
“Well…it up to you whether
you go!”
After a short team meeting - noting that we
all had put plans in place to be at this point - we decided rightly or wrongly
to go for it. So at 07:00 the first team member jumped off the back of the boat
and swan for the beach. The rules say you must start from the beach.
At 07:09 our attempt at the channel started.
Spirits and confidence were high on
starting. We expected the rough seas to calm further out away from the shore.
Unfortunately this was not to be. The waves seemed to break over us and we
estimated the swell at times to approach 10ft. Jumping
off the back of the boat into the swell was more difficulty that it looked. As
you jumped into the waves, you expect to surface in a short time, but because
of the swell, the surface had risen while you are underwater, and fighting for
breath before even taking a stroke is not a good start.
My first swim went well. The long training
sessions obviously paid off. Relief when first relay stage over. Felt okay but
as soon as I got back onto the boat became violently sick. I needed to find
somewhere that I wasn’t being thrown about all over the place.
Unfortunately there isn’t anywhere like that on board a small boat
crossing the channel. I therefore remained feeling sick until it was time to
get back into the water on my next leg.
I didn’t recover at all well and
within a few minutes of being tossed about in the waves, and swallowing half
the English Channel became horribly sick again. And again while treading water
trying to catch my breath in amongst the rising and falling swell. This made
things worse since I had stopped swimming (unsurprisingly). The support boat
had moved slightly ahead of me and I was covered in the diesel fumes from the
exhaust of the support boat. This was scary.
If you swim towards the boat and
accidentally hold onto the boat, then the challenge fails. Touching
the boat while swimming is strictly against the rules. The best I could
do was to swim completely away from the boat (which is against your natural
instinct) and recover in the open water. This I managed to do. It is not easy
being sick AND swimming. Having composed myself I managed somehow to continue
my relay leg.
Feeling weaken by my illness,
I tried to recover on board whilst we continued toward France, finally seeing
our destination about 16:00. This cheered us considerably - an end in sight.
Unfortunately the weather had taken it toll
on all of us and the tide was changing for the worse, sending us north. As fast
as we could swim in towards the shore we were being pushed up towards Calais.
We had only hours to achieve our goal or because of the tide we would fail. We
had heard many stories of failures so close to the French coast because of the
tide.
We swam on now into dusk and the night-time.
France still getting no closer. Light sticks were
attached to the swimmer goggles as in the pitch black of the channel it was
extremely difficult to see the swimmer. This was beginning to get a bit scary.
Finally at about 23:00, the pilot called out “0.4 Nautical miles to
go”. We looked forward unable to see anything. Then 300m to go, still
nothing. 200m to go and finally the wall of Calais ferry harbour rose up from
the sea in front of us, the waves breaking against the boulders of the harbour
wall.
We touched home at 23:50 after 16 hours 41
minute
After cracking a bottle of Champagne (to
hell with the sickness), we each found a corner of the boat to sit down and get
whatever sleep we could catch during the 3 hours boat trip home.
It has all been a fantastic experience
nearly a year of training, experiencing the first cold water swim and finally
the crossing. Not to mention the support and encouragement from friends and
family. Finally it is great that the 2 children charities will benefit from
everyone’s generosity.
What a journey!
Sue Hart (#4)
There were lots of things I expected to feel
during the swim like seasickness, cold, excitement, exhausted. I felt all of
these things. What I didn’t expect was to feel so emotional (especially
when I tried to speak to Mum & Dad or my husband, Ian, on the mobile
phone). What I didn’t expect was to be on such a high & feel so good
for so long afterwards. I also didn’t think – although I tried to
have no expectations – that I would be quite so hard as it was.
When the day finally came, I was very glad.
We had been training for a year. I had done the hour and a half in the harbour
[in colder water than on the day of our swim]. I had made it right across from
one side of the harbour to the other – a big milestone. I felt ready. It
had become such a huge thing. Everyone I knew in the world plus some I
didn’t were sending in best wishes & big cheques. I really
didn’t want to fail. I wanted to swim well & not let anyone down,
especially myself. I had to do this.
My first swim was fine. I was shocked when I
hit the water. I panic-ed a little, had that normal
feeling of thinking “I can’t keep this up for an hour”. But
then I got into a rhythm & realised the waves were not so bad as they
looked from the boat.
The hour felt like a long time & I was
glad to see Andy getting ready at the back of the boat & to hear the two
minute signal was bliss.
I timed my seasickness well & never felt
sick when I was in the water, unlike poor Kevan. It
was difficult though to eat. My body just didn’t want it. I
couldn’t swallow.
I was scared as Kevan’s
swim was ending & it was time for me to get ready for my second swim. The
waves looked very uninviting & BIG. I made the mistake of telling my team
members that I was scared. There was no doubt though in my mind that I would go
in, I just told them how it was. In hindsight, I should have kept quiet. They
may have thought that I was wavering.
I felt powerful in the water & felt the
huge team effort of everyone watching from the boat – especially Julian.
I didn’t like it when he disappeared from my sight.
On my third swim, I felt fine going in but I
never warmed up. I was freezing the whole time. I had asked Julian to give me
the 15 minute time signals. I thought that they must have forgotten to give me
the first one and any minute now they will tell me that I have done ½ an
hour. My heart sank when the 15 minute hand signal went up. I knew I was okay.
I knew I would do it but every part of my body was screaming & telling me
to get out.
I tried to count to 100. I thought of
everybody on the boat and at home. I knew that I was going to do the hour &
I tried to pull hard to warm up and swim well. But really I think my
achievement was just staying in. It was so cold & the sun was going down. I
looked for Andy at the back of the boat. He was so long coming, I actually
started to hate him (sorry, Andy, like it was your fault).
At last I was out, freezing but happy. I had
done my last swim. I was quite a long time warming up and was very focussed on
myself. Sarah & Liz helped me to get dressed. We were laughing. Everything
seemed okay at this point. Moments later I was at my lowest ebb. I went to look
at the horizon and my heart sank. It had not changed in over an hour and a
half. I went and sat in the pilot’s cabin to try and warm myself. I
curled up on the seat and my spirits got lower & lower.
Ian phoned and I told him “I want to
come home now”. He was great and gave me a pep talk. Andy then walked
past me & I told him that I couldn’t go in again. At that moment, I
meant every word. I was even thinking that if I had to move away from Ide Hill rather than go back in to the water then I would.
I wasn’t scared of the dark, the waves, the sea, anything – purely
the cold.
Andy had now finished his 3rd swim. I heard
a lot of talk of Julian going in and giving a big push to get us in. He told me
previously that he would be finishing and now it looked like we would all be
swimming again. No way. No way. I knew I should be out on the deck cheering
Julian on. I could only half hear what the pilots were saying but it
didn’t seem good. I also got completely paranoid & thought Andy had
told them I wasn’t going to swim again.
Afterwards, of course, it all seemed
ridiculous. Andy had said nothing to anyone & he didn’t think I would
have to swim again & that’s what he had told me but I thought he was
just saying that to cheer me up & get away from me to go and get something
to eat. I felt everyone was talking about me.
Anyway I finally pulled myself together and
went out on deck. Mike was in the water. I was willing Mike on. Please
don’t let me have to go in again. Swim, Mike, swim. Everyone was so
charged up, strong & determine. I was back with the team.
And then so suddenly – I still
don’t really understand how – it happened. We could see the wall
that we had to reach. It was so exciting. We had made it. It was done!!!
Andy Scholes (#5)
Dealing with Challenges along the way:
1.
First swim in
Felt nervous for
about 2 days before it – only had 2 glasses of wine on my birthday which
gives a fair indication of how serious I was taking it.
Had to get used
to the cold water. Yes it was cold and it takes your breath away. Managed to
get my head in the water and exhale heavily. Two things then happen. You
realise that you can’t see a thing in the water and you get an acute
headache. Natural reaction – take your head out of the water and try to
do crawl with your head out of the water.
Look around you
and realise 10 other people are doing the same thing, swimming with neither
grace nor style. Trust your team mates that they have a watch and they will
turn you back before too long. Then just go 1-2-3 breath (repeat as necessary).
Catch first
mouthful of water – lose rhythm and then have a mild panic. Notice
everyone else is still going and decide it is better to stay with “the
pack”.
Get back to the
beach. Your mind says – OK, that was an achievement; I must go and dry
off. Your body says - try to stand up. Fall over. Try once more – hold on
to the nearest person and then stumble up the pebbles. Towel, dry, thermal top
and try to curl up in a ball. Try to get dressed but body not following normal
rules. Ask other people’s wives for help getting dressed – its much
easier, but don’t try it at home. Realise after a couple of cold water
sessions you have a 2 minute window to get dressed and after that your body
shivers uncontrollably. Mentally OK, but body not playing ball.
2.
Open water swimming in general
Getting used to
doing a reasonable distance and realising that you can take the risk of not
being that close to the shore. Also learn the impact of the tides which can
really swirl you round when near either end of the harbour. After the 5th
training session stopped worrying about proximity to the beach and simply
focused on rhythm and going in a straight line. Experienced cramp once, and
quite glad as I followed instruction and worked it off and kept swimming.
Learning your limits – the impact of cold
– (49-57 °F) – after that it is OK.
1. Headache – intense at first but goes away once
breathing gets deeper and a rhythm gets going. Whole body feels cold for first
minute and then the core starts generating heat.
2. First part to suffer was my feet. Lost feeling but
that doesn’t matter as all they are doing is kicking anyway. They just
don’t allow you to walk easily afterwards. Your feet feel wet for the
rest of the day after swimming.
3. Next to suffer were the hands – the fingers
lose the ability to stay together and spread out. Remember thinking do you
clench fist or just keep up normal strokes.
4. Next was the kidney area on the back which started to
hurt gently and generally indicate that you were getting cold there too.
Sure enough, as
promised, once the water reached 58 - 60 degrees + it actually became quite
pleasant, the sun shone and you could stop worrying about your body shutting
down and concentrate on getting from A to B. On the day of the Relay none of
these things were a worry and it actually felt warm.
3. Swimming
front crawl.
I had always been
a competent swimmer but always swam breast stroke. Discussed relay and first
thought – I don’t mind but will do breaststroke if too difficult.
Went to the pool
and decided to try 4 lengths of crawl. Third length starting to roll a bit and
4th length really not elegant. I trained using pyramid for 4 weeks,
building up from a start of 2 lengths and then working up to 2’s to
6’s, then 8,10,12 and up to 14 with 30 second rest between each. Great
start for me as it got me into the mind set of “only 6 more“ or
“only 10 more” and that was often the biggest incentive when you
could count down the target. Also mastered bi-lateral breathing by the second
session which helped massively.
After training
the Pyramid went from 14 to 40 in one go and then added 10 lengths at a time
until 80 and worked on speed and rhythm thereafter
Some recollections of the swim day:
On driving into
Nice to see Sue’s parents there
– it made it seem a bit more real and personal and importantly they also
looked quite relaxed.
So we were there. Kevan
kept up the Cassandra thoughts - “should we really be going in this”
- with a philosophical view of “better to try and succeed in the right
conditions than try and fail”. This was an interesting team dynamic as Kevan’s views were often the ones at the opposite end
of the spectrum to Julian’s. However he often verbalised what most of us
were probably thinking. Liz didn’t miss the opportunity either for a moan
in the harbour before we left. Decided to walk down the pier to meet up with
Neil Streeter (pilot). He didn’t seem too bothered about it. In fact, he
didn’t seem too bothered about that many things at all.
So – off we went “ to have a
look”. I have to say it was more windy and waves were more than you would
generally care for swimming in when on holiday. But hey, we weren’t on
holiday,
So - a couple of hours in and waiting for
the 5th leg. Felt fine until the last 40 minutes and then started to worry
quietly. How long does the hour take? Will I see any seaweed? Are there any
jelly fish? Stomach started to feel tense. Got changed, Vaseline-d up and kept
jacket on until last moment.
Jumped in the water and although nervous
felt better than on the boat, and started off as fast as I felt possible,
windmill-ing the arms in a cadence fashion rather
than pulling each stroke right through. The water was much clearer than the
harbour and you could see the plankton. Also it was less salty. Biggest single
motivator: seeing that there was a familiar face on the boat, who was looking
out for you with the occasional hand signal. Biggest demotivator:
for a couple of minutes watching 4 backs turned on deck, who were clearly
enjoying their sandwiches and a good chat.
Motivating others:
Interestingly as the day progressed fell
into a natural cycle of who motivated who in the water – it tended to be
those who were at least an hour either side of your swim hour who had warmed up
and eaten, so naturally two hours later you returned the favour.
Learnt it was very important to develop hand
signals as you can’t hear a thing as you swim. A “Nobo” board would be good for messages for a solo
swimmer.
Swimming at night:
The light stick was really annoying, wedged
between shoulder and ear. As dusk fell the boat lights appeared, and it was
great to see the lights on
Overall:
A great way to learn a little more about
yourself and a lot about the team out there with you.
