Why Swim the English Channel?
My friends say "I am crazy"; others are simply flabbergasted that I would attempt such a feat. They question, 'Why on Earth would you want to swim the English Channel? Don't you know that it is really cold and rough; and that it...
Who is Ogopogo?
Canada's most famous water monster is Ogopogo of Lake Okanagan in the South Central Interior of British Columbia. Older than the Loch Ness Monster, Ogopogo--also known as "N'ha·a·itk" in the Salish First Nation's language--pre-dates western settlement in the area....
How Does One Prepare for the Channel?
To me, swimming the English Channel is not an "extreme" sport of uncalculated risk. If I prepare myself adequately, there is no reason why I cannot achieve this goal. I consider this swim more arduous than extreme. For sure, there will be periods of exhaustion, physical pain, cold, mental anguish, despair, loneliness and boredom during my attempt. How do I prepare for these challenges?1) PhysicalI have to be prepared to swim 35-45 KM (35 KM if I swim in a straight line but 40-45 KM is more...
Winter Update
Some Channel swimmers are already training in the ocean. This is fine if you live in warmer climes but there is still some snow on the ground in the Okanagan Valley....hopefully not for long. I took the kids canoeing in the lake today. The surface temperature is 4'C! It will be May, at the earliest, that I dare wade into the lake donning my Speedo. I have ocean training swims lined up for end of April in Vancouver and late May in San Francisco.My present training regimen consists...
Training with the Gooey Tubes
The Ocean is Cold and it is Snowing in Vancouver??
It has been an unseasonably cold winter in BC! A few weeks ago I made my first foray into the ocean at Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver (April 7th). While Vancouverites should be gardening and golfing at this time of year, it was snowing in the upper levels of West Vancouver and people are still skiing down the slopes of Grouse Mountain! So, I brought along my wetsuit "just in case." The water temperature was 9'C (48'F). That is very cold to my liking. In contrast, the temperature of the...
Provincial Masters Swimming Championships
Speed is also a critical success factor for Channel swimming. As I approach the coast of France, the currents will be at their strongest. At this point, I will be tired, dehydrated and mentally exhausted. The last thing I want to happen is for the...
A Seal Named Sammy
Friend and fellow Channel aspirant, Mike Humphreys from Seattle, and I swam from the Burrard Street Bridge in Vancouver to 3rd Beach in Stanley Park and return (5.5 KM). We fought the current on the way out and rode the incoming tide on the way back in. For safety...
Vancouver Marathon Inspiration
