The reason I began to swim as a child was to some day swim the chanel. It hasn't happened yet. I've tried to swim long distances in open water but usually have ot give up because I get so cold. I'm 6ft6in and weigh 185. I've been told that I could never get the body fat to do it. Now there are relay teams. If anyone is interested in forminga relay team with a skinny, strong swimmer, let me know.
