swim the english channel

I Swam 3000meters when i was 8years old, i was a superb natural swimmer, with the right training i think this is a possibility.
Obviously i’d need to train like mad, and i do have a mate that would be the perfect training partner… Despite not doing much swimming in the last 12years, i’m still a strong swimmer and have never lost it

Won’t be doing this for a few years, but its been an idea for a while.
