There
are few challenges that can stand the test of time.
With science and technology many great challenges
are not undertaken on the same basis as the original
pioneers who first dreamed them possible.
Not
so Swimming the English Channel.
When Captain Matthew Webb swam the Channel in 1875
he had one costume, hat, goggles and grease. For the
crossing to be recognised officially today the same
restrictions apply.
