Next time you’re taking a swim in the Lido (only 10 days of this season left, but hey, who’s counting?) you could well be sharing the pool with a Channel Swimming legend, our very own Jim Boucher. Not only has he crossed it solo once – more than most swimmers can ever dream of doing, it’s not called the Everest of swims for nothing – he’s now done it twice.

A remarkable achievement, read Jim’s account here:
