Ricks Team story
Big Ricks Swim Team is a group of six swimmers from Great
Britain hoping to break the world record for crossing the English Channel FOUR
times in a row later this year. Our team consists of Paul Bates, Charlie
Wheadon, Stuart Fuller, Ross Emery, Ryan Coley and Melanie Holland, with the
lovely Caroline Saxon in reserve.

We're taking on the gruelling challenge to raise money for
both the Royal National Lifeboat Institute and British Heart Foundation with
50% of the total raised
going to each charity.

The current record for the ‘quadruple-swim’ is held by a
Mexican team at 42 hours and 11 minutes. The only other team to have ever
completed the challenge is from Australia. If we finish the swim, we’ll be the
first European team to do so.
