After months of hard work and training, members of LGBTQ+ swimming group Out to Swim will today set off to conquer the English Channel.
Six members of Out to Swim – including two from Out to Swim Brighton & Hove – will swim the Channel as a relay in order to raise money for some personal charities and challenge themselves to the ultimate swimming event.
Taking part in this swim: Lenny, raising funds for Safe Passage UK; Daniel, raising funds for Brighton HIV charity, Lunch Positive; Paul, Ian and Richard, raising funds for Dementia UK; and Emma, raising funds for Beat.
