Jo Norman is a North Channel solo swimmer! She had to really dig in to overcome some tough conditions and low air temperature in particular. But she pushed really hard to complete her swim in a time of 13 hours 8 minutes. Congratulations Jo 🏊‍♀️💪👊 @RedTopSwim @multisportnut

We are 2 hours 45 minutes in and Jo is swimming well. There's still some swell from recent winds but the wind today should be giving us a bit of a push @RedTopSwim

He completed his swim last night after an epic 18 hours 19 minutes. He had to battle hard for that one: congratulations Mitch 🏊‍♂️👊💪 @RedTopSwim

Mitch has just had his 4 hour 30 minute feed. We will be entering the South West Shipping Lane reasonably soon. Still very good conditions and the air temperature is increasing nicely @RedTopSwim

Ross Kemp is an English Channel swimmer! He had to push really hard at the end and has smashed it in a time of 12 hours 10 minutes. Awesome swim Ross 👊🏊‍♂️🔥 @CSAswimmers @RedTopSwim @CoachTimSwim @multisportnut

[Red Top Nils @TopNils]

Ross has just had his 9 hour feed. He can see France but not the Cap which is over to our starboard side as we are dropping down on the ebb tide @CSAswimmers @RedTopSwim @multisportnut @CoachTimSwim

[Red Top Nils @TopNils]

We are 7 hours 50 minutes in and making good progress. Ross went through a slight rough patch earlier on but he is pushing on and doing well @CSAswimmers @RedTopSwim @multisportnut @CoachTimSwim

[Red Top Nils @TopNils]

We have entered the Separation Zone in 5 hours 40 minutes... @CSAswimmers @RedTopSwim @multisportnut @CoachTimSwim

[Red Top Nils @TopNils]

Ross was feeling a little nauseous so we've given him a tablet and moved him a little further away from the boat @CoachTimSwim @CSAswimmers @multisportnut @RedTopSwim

[Red Top Nils @TopNils]

Ross has entered the South West Shipping Lane in 3 hours 9 minutes. With little tide today, we are on a pretty straight track so this is good progress @CSAswimmers @CoachTimSwim @multisportnut @RedTopSwim

[Red Top Nils @TopNils]

2 hour 30 minute feed for Ross... Christie @multisportnut has prepared his nutrition schedule and it's all going as planned so far @CSAswimmers @CoachTimSwim @RedTopSwim
