Hello folks,
I am beginning to look into setting up, and doing a marathon swim for charity, for next summer, (solo) and I was wondering if anybody here had been through it and had any input. I am planning on getting in touch with coastguards, etc. in order to get whatever permits I need, and finding information on currents, etc. to pick a time that will be ideal for the swim. Beyond these, I'm sure there are many other obstacles that will come up. Any help along the way would be great.
Edit: In case it wasn't clear, I am planning on having the only one swimming to be me.
Thank you!
That's a 40+ mile swim. Have you done other swims in this distance range? Or even a 20 mile swim?
Yes, the swimming part shouldn't be a problem (not to say it will be easy - that challenge will be part of the fun). It is more the logistics and setting it up that could be an issue, but I have begun contacting people so we'll see.
