Devin, dustin and daniel wall could be the first trio of siblings to swim the English Channel at the same time. Its the Mount Everest of swimming. So theres a whole lot of factors that can go into you being successful or not being successful. Reporter devin wall says training to swim the English Channel with his siblings has been grueling and consists of swimming about 10,000 yards a day five days a week. His weight lifting three days a week focuses on shoulders, arms, back and abs and even ice baths to get the body used to the long swim in the cold channel water. The waterway averages 60 degrees and could take 10 to 20 hours to complete the crossing. While devin is trying to build muscle, hes also working on putting on some fat. Because that little extra layer of fat helps with insulating your body. Reporter but he says preparing the mind tops the list. The most important thing is your mental capacity. Youve got to continue pushing even when you want to give up and you probably will want to give up. Reporter devin is no stranger to endurance sports. Hes competed in ironman triathlons with his father, although that swim is much shorter, around 2 1 2 miles. Swimming the English Channel is no easy feat. Its 21 miles wide at its most narrow point, but its not a straight shot across. Strong currents can push swimmers from side to side for miles making the swim much longer. High tides can also create towering swells not to mention the English Channel is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. While devin has been preparing with the trainer in baltimore more than 1,500 miles away in colorado his siblings 19year old dustin and 21yearold danielle are training together. Danielle, an accomplished college swimmer, is familiar with the challenge. She successfully conquered the channel last summer and did very well. Danielle holes the record for the fastest english swimming channel time for any american man or woman completing it in nine hours, 49 minutes. I talk with them a lot about training and what they need to do and kind of what you go through mentally and physically out there. She said its a mental challenge. It is hard. It is long. It is get tedious and it is cold. Reporter dustin is also a seasoned athlete, but this is his first time tackling Something Big as the channel. You get a wrong current or bad weather or lightning and those are all factors that you cant really control, but when it comes to the distance and the cold water, i think im mentally and physically Strong Enough to complete it. Reporter danielle also warned her brothers about another well known channel challenge, jellyfish. That was a huge setback for me last year, so i feel like i know what to expect and swimming through the jellyfish pods this time could be easier. Reporter while danielle already owns a spot in the channel record books shes looking forward to the chance of making English Channel history again, this time with her two brothers. Nora odonnell reporting there and the walls are making the swim in part to raise awareness about alzheimers, a disease that has affected their loved ones and they say they are counting on family bonds to overcome the rough ocean currents.
