Welcome to Dover Channel Training
End of 2024 season update:
We have now completed our last season in it’s current form. Over the winter season we will determine what, if any, training support will be provided in future seasons.

We offer tried and tested methods for training for your big swim, whether that’s a relay or solo and whether that’s the English Channel or one of the hundreds of other swims around the world.
We are a membership organisation, driven by volunteers, that cares about your journey and achievements.
You’ll find all sorts of content here from blogs, advice and even a shop.

“You’re standing on a beach near Dover, it’s pitch black, you look out into the distance and notice the moon sparkling off the water, the lights of passing boats in the distance. You raise your arm and hear the horn from the boat as you step purposefully into the water, excited to take the first stroke to finish the adventure of a lifetime”
