The crossing

Fellfoot ↔ Waterhead: 16.3 km between start and finish coasts. Our archive contains 250 crossings by swimmers from 28 countries.

Distance is the shortest straight line between the start and finish coastal stretches, not the GPS track length: currents cause swimmers to cover much more distance.
