Swim to the Isle

Adam Diver hopes to be the first person to swim from England to the

Isle of Man. The English man, who hails from Fleetwood, is a former Army captain who is no stranger to the water. He has been swimming since the age of five and represented Great Britain at the Europe Triathlon Championship last year. His upcoming trek is scheduled to take place this July, when conditions will hopefully be optimal. The plan is to complete the 51-kilometre swim in four six-hour blocks, due to the Irish Sea tides.
