I'm trying to get general information on percent body fat found on Channel Swimmers. Numbers for either gender are fine. if anyone has any resources please let me know.
Thanks.

The channel is quite warm so I don't think they would need lots of insulation Abou Heif carried extra fat, my brother Tom was not very fat but very muscular. When they tested Tom before he swam the English Channel the doctors told him he had the metabolism rate of a fourteen year old and he was in his thirties.
I ahve seen skinny guys who could take the cold and most could not.
