Are you doing a solo or relay Channel swim this year and planning on training in Dover Harbour? If so, you should be aware that traditional training sessions will have to be rescheduled or relocated due to construction work in the harbour.
Dover Harbour is having some major work done over the next couple of years and swimming in the harbour will be prohibited while piling activities are underway.
Piling work will continue throughout the season. It takes place from 8am-6pm Monday to Friday and 8am-2pm Saturday. No piling takes place on Sundays or Bank Holiday Mondays. However, it is possible that piling may overrun on some days.
