A [[North Channel crossing]] or the [[North Channel Swim]] is a solo or [[relay]] [[open water swim]] of a distance of 34.5 km (21.4 miles).  It is known for fickle weather, rough seas, tough currents and an abundance of [[jellyfish]].  It is also sometimes referred to as the [[Irish Channel]].  A [[North Channel Swim]] is a swim across one of the channels in the [[Oceans Seven]].  Its swims, often done in 10.5-14°C (50-54ºF) water, are sanctioned and certified by the [[Irish Long Distance Swimming Association]].
