Sea Sickness

Remember that sea-sickness is a real threat, even to the most experienced. If you are in a relay team, almost everything mentioned above will apply to your swim, except the fact that you will be spending one hour in the water, followed by 5 hours in the boat - the 5 hours on the boat can be a problem if you are sea-sick or you get cold. Take plenty of warm clothing and dry towels. Try to talk to other swimmers and people who have been involved with the Channel and talk to your pilot to get everything clear in your mind. Do not leave anything until the last minute.
