Complete at least one documented 4-hour continuous open water swim in water at or below 16°C. This is the core physical prerequisite for Channel relay qualification — you need to demonstrate you can sustain cold-water swimming over multiple relay legs without a wetsuit.
Proof required
Submit: GPS track showing a 4+ hour open water swim; water temperature log from a certified thermometer; observer attestation if available.
What gets checked
- GPS track shows 4+ continuous hours in open water — pool swims do not count for Channel prep
- Water temperature is documented at ≤16°C — the Channel's standard qualifying condition
- Track is from a GPS watch or device, not manually plotted
