Swimming from Ordinary to ExtraordinaryChanneling What is it that propels otherwise ordinary adult Australians to put themselves at risk, take on the madness of the English Channel and swim 35 kilometres through the cold of one of the world's busiest shipping routes? Crossing the Channel is an iconic challenge, right up there with Everest. A true measure of fitness, grit and resilience. In Channelling, a band of courageous swimmers share their stories of how they transcend the ordinary and battle cold, distance, pain, and self-doubt to test their limits and redefine what is possible. You'll come to understand each swimmer's motivations, their dreams and fears, their highs and lows, and the legacy of their Channel swim. For some, the journey will end triumphantly in France, while for others dreams will sink into the water and damaged bodies will linger in hospitals. But they all have one thing in common: when they launch themselves from the pebbled beach in Dover, they know their lives will change forever. Our heroes' captivating stories will inspire anyone who dreams to be free from everyday constraints, to test themselves and to discover how extraordinary they can be.
