Soldiers from First Fusiliers overcame a battle with the elements to become the first mixed Infantry team to complete a relay swim of the English Channel.
In the small hours of the morning, Lt Keeley Lloyd-Janes stepped ashore in France – 15 hours and 27 minutes after the team set off from Samphire Hoe.
With choppy seas and strong winds making for tough going, the seven-strong outfit had to dig deep to finish the challenge, which they took on to raise money for their regimental benevolent fund, the Fusiliers Aid Society. Search for ‘1rrfchannelrelayswim’ on justgiving.com to boost their total.
