The English Channel has been crossed over 1-100 times until now. About 900 crossings have already been created from England to France and around 250 crossings from France to England. The majority of the swimmers that finished the crossing are man but women have made it too.

The record of the Channel crossings is used by Alison Streeter, who were able to make 43 effective swims over the channel.

British star David Walliams, well known writer and actor had the initiative of crossing the English Channel for charity. The objective of this test will be to raise money for Sport Relief. The comedian is aware of the difficulty of his effort and that is why he trained himself for pretty much 1-2 months with former Olympic pentathlete Greg Whyte.

Walliams says that he'll 'you need to be in a pair of Speedos and glasses - it's what the public wants,' but he got his education very seriously. The crossing of the Channel is recognized as 'the Everest of open-water swimming' and just a few of those who test it succeed.

But jokes aside, exactly what the comic is trying is very a feat. Few people succeed - just 10% according to some results - and the move is identified Walliams, who is raising money for Sport Relief, has spent the past 1-1 months training and Alison Streeter,the record-holder for the Channel crossings explains what're the most difficult things is this attempt:

'It isn't about the range, many individuals could swim the same in a pool,' she says.

Healthy swimmers in many cases are all muscle and do not have much fat on them, this means they get cold faster and after the cold enters your muscles it's quite difficult to keep.'

Considering that Walliams plans to produce his attempt sometime between 2-8 June and 1-5 July which is early in the growing season, it means that the cold is going to be a much greater problem.

Other important factors which make the attempt difficult are the wind, the tides and the elements. The tides are difficult to predict as they're strong and change direction approximately every six hours and they change high and flow speed every day.
