A CHANNEL swimming group is looking for people to become official observers for the summer.

The Channel Swimming and Piloting Federation has a large number of swimmers from all over the world booked in for Channel swim attempts during the coming months.

Observers are needed to travel on the escort boat accompanying each swimmer, ensuring that the CSPF rules are adhered to. Other duties include completing a form and writing a commentary on the swim.

On the job training is given and expenses are supplied.

Anyone interested should contact Mike Oram on 01843 852858, who can also give more information about what is involved.
