🌊❄️ CHANNEL SWIMMING TIP
Cold adaptation is not built in a few weeks.
Start acclimating to cold water at least one year before your Channel attempt to gradually improve comfort, confidence, and long-distance performance.
Consistency beats intensity. Every session counts. 🏊‍♂️🌊

🌊🏊‍♂️ OCEANS SEVEN COMPLETED! 🏊‍♂️🌊

A huge congratulations to Paul on successfully crossing the legendary Tsugaru Strait and officially becoming an Oceans Seven Swimmer! 🎉👏

This remarkable achievement is the result of years of dedication, resilience, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to the sport of marathon swimming.

📍 Tsugaru Strait, Japan 🇯🇵 🌡️ Water temperature: approximately 18–20°C 🌬️ Light to moderate winds 🌊 Challenging tidal currents, one of the key factors that make this crossing so demanding

Completing Oceans Seven places Paul among a very small group of swimmers worldwide who have conquered the most iconic channel crossings on the planet.

Congratulations on this incredible milestone. Enjoy the moment—you have earned it! 💙

Train your feeding strategy as seriously as your swimming.

Open Water Sighting Tip:

• Lift your eyes, not your whole head. Stay streamlined. • Sight forward quickly, then return your eyes to the water. • Check your direction regularly. A straight line is the fastest line.

Beach Start Tip for Open Water Swimming: start under control, stay slightly wide to avoid chaos, and protect your space during the first contact-heavy meters. A clean start is often a smarter start.

A mixed series of moments from our Red Top Swim cold water training camp in Opatija, Croatia 🌊🇭🇷

Night swims 🌙, open water sessions, technique work 🎥, long aerobic swims and plenty of time spent adapting to cold water conditions together as a team.

Conditions throughout the camp were challenging for training:

Sea temperature: approximately 14–16°C 🌡️

Air temperature: around 12–16°C

High humidity typical of the Adriatic coast 💨

Moderate wind and variable sea conditions during some sessions 🌊

Perfect conditions to build both physical adaptation and mental resilience for the upcoming open water and channel swimming season.

A big thank you to everyone who joined the camp and brought great energy, motivation and team spirit throughout the weekend.
