After waiting in England for over two weeks Paul and I have finally confirmed with our pilot our start date and time!! Everyone on the boat will require their passports as we may be boarded by the French authorities at any time (we wouldn’t want to forget them like another channel swimmer this year
)
We will be staring the swim at 8.30pm on the 22nd of July (BST).
This is UK time so you will need to adjust the start time according to your time zone (e.g. Melbourne and Sydney are 9 hours ahead).
For those of you eager to follow my swim in Real Time I have purchased SPOT (a GPS Tracking device) which will emit a signal with my location every 10 minutes during my swim, when the swim starts (not before) press the GPS button called ‘Chloë’s GPS Tracker’. You can also follow the swim on my Twitter account (click ‘Twitter’ button below).
some of my blogs or check out my recently updated gallery.
A very special thank you to my boyfriend Paul who has dedicated several 1000s of hours to supporting me towards
my swimming goals since we left England last year. I will forever be in debt to you!!
Also, a big thankyou to Vanessa and Murph Renford. Murph was willing to jump on a plane and and support Paul on the boat for my swim at very short notice between work and family committments. Unfortunately due to the unpredicatability of the wind in the channel and no fixed start date we decided against asking him over on the 20hr long haul flight. Thanks anyway
Thanks for everyones continued interest and support, including my sponsors, family and friends!!
I look forward to sharing my swim journey with you after its conclusion
