I have set a goal of swimming the English Channel in 2013. I believe I have given myself plenty of time to train and prepare...(I hope). I am currently heavily involved in longer distance triathlons (70.3 and Ironman distance). My "final" long triathlon will occur on November 21, 2010, at Ironman Arizona. After that, I will take some down time (30 days or so) and then begin my training for my Channel attempt. I am comfortable in the open water. My max distance is 2.4 miles at this point.
Alright, let's hear it. Advice?? Questions?? Comments?? Let me know what you are thinking!!

Where can I get my hands on a copy of "Dover Solo"?? My public library doesn't have it, and Barnes & Nobel says it's "out of print."
Seems to be available on Amazon.
Amazon.com: Dover Solo: Swimming The English Channel (9780967209111): Marcia Cleveland: Books
Also, you can try Alibris to see if you can get a used copy. And sometimes public libraries will allow you to do a version of inter-library loan to get books. you might want to ask.
Hope that helps.
