2020 was a season like no other. Many plans were put on hold and even those who had the opportunity to attempt their swim had to overcame many unexpected hurdles.

Every Channel swim is a fantastic achievement for the swimmer and those who supported them through their adventure and the CS&PF congratulate every solo swimmer and relay team member of 2020.

The CS&PF annual dinner usually culminates in an award ceremony and while we cannot celebrate and present the awards in person, we want to honour the achievements of the 2020 season.
