Prem's English Channel Solo Swim 2025

Donation protected
Hey,

Welcome to my fundraising page.

This August 2025, I will swim 35km across the English Channel (England to France) and become the 51st Indian male in human history to accomplish this feat, in aid of Mind Charity.


The 15 hour swim is solo, non wetsuit, in sub 16 degree water, and other challenges include: jellyfish, one of the world’s busiest shipping routes, and debris.

Since struggling at university with mental health issues, fitness has played an instrumental role in improving my mental stamina. I value leaning into discomfort. That’s where amazing growth happens.

I will be supporting Mind Charity, a cause close to my heart. They have helped me and others in my network during difficult times.

Mind gives advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem.

To help me achieve my goals of swimming across the English Channel, which is very costly, and supporting Mind Charity, donations will be split 50/50 between Mind Charity and contributing towards the swim costs.

Together, we can empower people to improve their mental health and unlock their full potential.

Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to this vision. Thank you for believing in me and this mission!

Let’s swim towards change, one stroke at a time.

Cheers,

prem
