Submitted by Niek Kloots on 1 September 2010 - 5:21pmThe IJsselmeer Bikkels succeeded in their intention to complete the Channel Crossing in a Dutch relay record. Webmaster Richard Broer, Hans Peter Hartog, Ralf van der Poel, Ron van der Harst, Roel de Hoop and Marcel van der Togt did the distance in relay form in 8 hours and 57 minutes. That was over a half hours faster than Haagse Bluf (with Jan van Daalen and Paul van Scheijndel) in 1969. They had a time of 9 hours and 29 minutes on the clock.

It was a teenage girl, flanked by two wooden rowboats as her light-colored swim cap undulated in the chop. And she was swimming from the west end of Donner Lake clear to the other side.
