Toronto man completes solo swim across the English Channel in 15 hr 25 min
A 30-year-old Toronto man has become the latest Canadian to successfully complete a solo swim across the English Channel.
Samuel Bail finished the roughly 32-kilometre swim on Tuesday, taking 15 hours and 25 minutes to swim the distance between England and France.
According to the Serpentine Swimming Club, Bail becomes the 28th Canadian to complete the open-water swim since 1951.
Bail said he decided to attempt the swim after triathlons and marathons left him feeling in need of a bigger challenge.
