2012 CS&PF swim tracks

Full list of CS&PF swims for 2012 season including most of the swim tracks is now available on our website

We have been updating the 2012 swims page periodically, we can now confirm that the swims on

http://cspf.co.uk/cs-and-pf-swims

have now all been ratified by the CS&PF committee. The 2012 tally stands at 53 successful solo swims and 49 successful relays. Notable swims include Stuart Johnson's 2-way, Trent Grimsey's new Channel record and five 2-way relays including fastest ever ladies 2-way relay. Congratulation to all swimmers and their crews.

Many of our regular site visitors know that we have been logging AIS data for our pilot ships since early July: we were kindly given two separate sources of AIS data by shipais.com and vtexplorer.com.

From early August we have almost complete data for every swim which make a fascinating viewing. Click on "Swim Track" link next to each swim entry to reveal a Google map. Note that clicking on the left or right arrow on ech popup you can switch the map to the previous or nex swim. Enjoy!

We are always looking to improve this website and would love to hear your suggestions and comments: please email webmaster@cspf.org.uk for any feedback.
