English Channel Crossing 2025

By Rob Peart

I’m swimming with Tomatoes Swim Club & Variety – the Children’s Charity.

Our Tomatoes Swim Club are on a mission this year to make a real difference in the lives of kids in need and we need your support to help make it happen!

I am currently training for a solo swim across the English Channel, from Shakespeare’s Beach in Dover, UK to Cap Gris Nez in Calais, France. This challenge has been a long-time dream of mine, and it’s finally within reach. My swim window is set for September 14–20, 2025

Along side me on this epic journey is my crew aboard Pathfinder. Ships Master, Eric Hartley - My personal marathon swim coach, Helen Conway - My eldest son Tallow - and simply the best wing person you could dream of, Amity Peart.

Every dollar you donate will go directly to Variety – the Children's Charity, helping ensure that all kids, regardless of their ability or circumstances, have access to the equipment, support, and opportunities they deserve.

Your generosity will make a massive impact. Let's try changing some lives freestyle.

Thanking you for your support, it’s appreciated❗️
