Where are you now?
We are starting a Swimming Scrapbook and trying to fill the gaps in the database records If you have swum the Channel or know someone who has, successful or unsuccessful, let us know all about it and help us update the gaps in our records.
The lists are long and require time to download - please allow extra time depending on the speed of your modem and computer.
