The Pilots
Your Pilot will be the most important person on the boat during your swim. The Pilot will take your booking and allocate you a space on a given tide window. You must liaise closely with your Pilot, to find out exactly when you will be going. Your Pilot will steer the course he considers will get you to France the quickest, drawing on all their experience and expertise.
Use the table below to select a Pilot. Do not immediately go for the cheapest crossing, ask other swimmers for their opinions on who the best Pilots are.
