Dominican long-distance swimmer Marcos D?az is at it for
the third time. D?az is currently in Dover, England to attempt to become the
first Dominican (and perhaps the first from the Caribbean) to cross the Channel
between France and England. He failed in two other attempts, including one that
brought him after eight hours close enough to see the coast of France. The
crossings are carried out under the Channel Swimming Association, which D?az
said has given him a slot between Thursday and next Tuesday to attempt a new
crossing.
