My name is Caroline Sims

I am a channel swimmer. I have also swum the length of Windermere, was the first female skins swimmer to complete a 24 hour lake swim (1 mile every hour for 24 hours) and set up the OW Ladies relay team. We are aiming to become the first team to complete the Oceans 7 two ways. We have already completed the North Channel (Guinness World Record holders) and the Catalina Channel.

I helped one of my swimmers go from only swimming a mile to the 5.25 mile Coniston swim and I doggy paddled the whole way…don’t take me on at doggy paddle haha.

I also got to crew for Chloe McCardle for 6 of her last 7 swims across the English Channel, earning her the title Queen of the Channel.

I also enjoy other activities such as skiing and mountain marathons but I will pretty much have a go at anything. I tend to be full of harebrained ideas, ask any of my ladies.

I am looking forward to imparting my crewing knowledge to you and answering any questions you have
