Tackle the 21-mile crossing between Dover and Calais through some of the world's busiest shipping lanes, fighting cold water, strong currents, and jellyfish for 10-15 hours straight. Only about 1,400 people have completed this solo swim since 1875 - you'll need years of cold-water training and the mental fortitude to keep swimming when your body wants to quit.
