Teenagers swim the English Channel

Available for over a year

The Young Minds Matter Channel Swim Team have achieved what very few have. Joe, Brian, Hayden and Eitan may seem like your average 17 and 18 year olds. But a year ago they did something truly extraordinary: a 24 mile swim across the freezing English Channel, in relay, dressed only in swimming trunks. They became the second fastest 4-person relay team since 2016, and raised £15,000 for charity. The team have been nominated for a Make a Difference Award in the Fundraiser category and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ CWR’s Rosie Eaton went to catch up with them.
