GPS map of a swimmer crossing the English Channel

Unofficial world record goes to Sophie Etheridge in 29:04.

The English Channel experiences strong tidal currents that can vary in
direction and intensity. These currents can make it difficult to swim in
a straight line, potentially pushing swimmers off course. Tidal changes
occur several times a day and can significantly impact a swimmer’s
progress.
