Swimming the English Channel Part 3 - Sports Bizarre
With the Channel finally crossed, the arms race for who could cross it the fastest kicked off, and in a shock for the media at the time, it would be the woman who would set the standard.
Gertrude Ederle would set the pace, although her coach worked work against her.
As time went on, the records became harder to set, until an eleven-year-old stepped up to the plate.

Swimming the English Channel Part 2- Sports Bizarre
On 12 August 1872, Captain Matthew Webb stood on the English shore and covered himself with porpoise oil before setting off to attempt to be the first person to swim the English Channel.
Webb swam breaststroke as no Englishman would be caught dead swimming the new 'freestyle' stroke. It was considered “violent and grotesque.”
When Webb was just over halfway, a storm hit the Channel. It appeared once again the Channel would never be conquered.

Swimming the English Channel Part 1 - Sports Bizarre
One of the most challenging athletic feats in human history is to swim the English Channel.
It’s 34 kilometres of open sea between England and France, which also happens to be the busiest sea lane in the world, with water temperatures hovering between 14 to 18 degrees Celsius in summer.
For your swim to be officially recognised, wet suits or any thermal protection are not allowed. It’s just you against the ocean.
Tides will also sweep you kilometres off course, you’ll almost certainly be stung by jellyfish, and even while swimming, the churning waves can make you seasick.
So why does anyone do it? Who was the first? And just how dangerous is it? Mick and Titus look at the history of swimming the English Channel.

Customer Reviews
There’s quaint Aussie drawl then there’s just plain butchery…
Loving the show of course chaps but Titus…a little feedback on your pronunciation efforts.
Piss poor man! your level of pronunciation butchery has you currently trailing renowned linguistic fishmongers George Dubbya and “smoke n mirrors” himself, Travis Cloke…
This is not the path to world domination…
Amazing
I always find these episodes hilarious. I crack up listening to you guys.
Showbags
Loving the podcasts. Informative, funny and a breath of fresh air. Maybe you could a show on Jarrod Lyle one day? Iv read his book and is an incredible story.
