Good to hear you are also an avid swimmer.
It is very humbling to aim for something colosal like the English Channel, Gulf of Gibaltrar, or the other Oceans 7 routes. I could have gone for New Zealand’s Cook’s Strait but it is fiercely guarded by a difficult man who makes bookings difficult for everyone (nevermind, maybe fate doesn’t want me to swim with Killer Whales and pegagic sharks)
The English Channel is a breeze to book, with 2 organizations doing the certification, and countless pilots who would guide you across.
Training is equally humbling, wish-washed with lots of quasi-gurus and commercially driven coaches. In the end I found that I don’t need a coach, and the Garmin is the main way to track my performance for adjustments.
Cheers and I hope you aim for one of these Oceans 7 too.
