Yeah, I don't think I could do the backstroke for that long. I sort of freak out that I can't see what is behind me too. Props to anyone that can actually make it across the Channel that way though.

That's got to be the most comfortable way to cross the Channel? Unless your backstroke is as bad as mine.

I don't have any clips of the swim. I'll see if there are any other ones available. :) Thanks. Could you ask himself? :wave:

My friend Trent swam 10 miles off Rhode Island, all backstroke, last year as a fundraiser for a spinal cord charity. http://backtoblock.org/blog/ Thanks! Wonderful story and terrific guy! Glad to see some pictures. Do you have any video clips of him backstroking in open water? I found a very short clip www.youtube.com/watch on Youtube, but it's not backstroke.

There might be something on marathonswimmers.org. There's a marathoner preparing to do the whole thing butterfly, too.
