David's back in the water
Never again, said David Walliams after his amazing swim across the channel for Sport Relief last year. The self-confessed exercise-phobe spent months training for the feat, putting in 4 hour sessions at local swimming pools and getting open water practice in lakes, rivers and the sea. And now he's doing it again.
David is joining James Cracknell for the 12-mile swim across the Straits of Gibraltar. And he's asking everyone to get behind them. To show your support, make a donation to Sport Relief and send a message.
When the swim's underway, you can track David and James' progress from this website.
David's going to find the Straits of Gibraltar a lot rougher and much colder than the Channel as this swim is earlier in the year. However, David and James are no strangers to cold water thanks to their first training session together at Dorney Lake in Windsor in almost freezing-temperatures.
