One hour later his position had not changed to any great extent, but he was gradually being carried west by a strong tide. By ten o clock the boats position was given as about 5 miles from shore some mile and a half west of the harbour, with the swimmer making little progress. The mist was thickening making it difficult to follow the lights of the vessel, but at 11 o clock it was still thought to be west of the Harbour and some four or five miles from shore. These reports are not born out by Guler himself who stated that at 10 00 clock he was 200 yds outside the breakwater, he landed at St Margaret’s Bay at 12 30 a.m. he said the last lap of the swim took him 2 hours. The swim was recognized by the International Long Distance Swimming Association. There was no Observer from the Channel Swimming Association. Glen Burlingham swam in with him.Success/failure Successful (681)Direction(s) France-England (736)Number of crossings One Way Swim (644)Ratified Independent (34)Unratified (2)Sahin, Dogan - 03/10/1961Swimmer(s) Sahin, DoganDate 03/10/1961Successful swim number 151Successful swimmer number 104Successful swim number France - England 124Duration of swim 14:21Success/failure Successful (681)Direction(s) France-England (736)Number of crossings One Way Swim (644)Ratified CSA (473)Aydin, Ersin - 18/08/1975Swimmer(s) Aydin, ErsinDate 18/08/1975Successful swim number 286Successful swimmer number 190Successful swim number France - England 184Duration of swim 16:40Success/failure Successful (681)Direction(s) France-England (736)Number of crossings One Way Swim (644)Ratified CSA (473)Aydin, Ersin - 07/09/1977Swimmer(s) Aydin, ErsinDate 07/09/1977Successful swim number 340Successful swimmer number 190Successful swim number England - France 149Duration of swim 13:40Success/failure Successful (681)Direction(s) England-France (657)Number of crossings One Way Swim (644)Ratified CSA (473)Acet, Erdel - 08/09/1977Swimmer(s) Acet, ErdelDate 08/09/1977Successful swim number 341Successful swimmer number 203Successful swim number England - France 150Duration of swim 09:07Success/failure Successful (681)Direction(s) England-France (657)Number of crossings One Way Swim (644)Ratified CSA (473)Olgun, Nesrin - 28/08/1979Swimmer(s) Olgun, NesrinDate 28/08/1979Successful swim number 394Successful swimmer number 241Successful swim number England - France 200Duration of swim 15:47Success/failure Successful (681)Direction(s) England-France (657)Number of crossings One Way Swim (644)Ratified CSA (473)
