Kelvin’s Channel Swim — Video

Kelvin Completes English Channel Swim!
Last modified on 2008-09-22 16:19:22 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
Dear Kelvin’s friends
This is a note to let you know that our son Kelvin has successfully swum the English Channel. Whilst 21 miles of swimming may be accomplished by many, Kelvin did it with waves covering his head, 60 degree water, strong waves and currents that took him off course by 8 miles, and feeding whilst treading water, he did it in 12.5 hours. A 10% success rate and only 800 success stories in 120 years also tells the story. I was on the boat taking videos. Larry, his Connecticut coach, and Jeff, his Albany swimming coach, were also on the boat with the crew. I also coordinated his cousins to meet him on the beach near Calais, far from the expected location. The day was very emotional and Jen and I cannot believe what he has done at his first attempt. It took him 4 years to prepare physically and mentally for this challenge. Now he wants to rest.
Best Wishes
John and Jen
