Looking at our archives, this year's swim has broken the College record by 55 minutes and is only the 9th relay swim in the last 3 years and 182 CS&PF relays to break the 12 hour mark. This was some team!

6 kids & their teacher took on the Channel. Their efforts will allow us to teach 7 more children with disabilities the life-saving skill of swimming! Thank you @WellyOpenWater @WellyApsley @WellyWellesley @WellyStanley Mr Rob Murphy @WellyAnglesey @WellyHopetoun #powerofsport

Second successive year of @csandpf qualifying swims! Nothing great is easy - currently we are the fastest relay of the season let's see how long that stands!!! xitter.cf/csandpf/status/1011357…

Belatedly Elodie changeover with Piper...the jellyfish shift! We lost mobile coverage mid Channel!
Made it! Team landed on rocks below Escalles at 1944 BST. Time of 11hrs 23mins our fastest ever @csandpf qualified Channel relay swim! A very very special team. The first back to back qualifying swims as well, 2017 and 2018!
