WHY CHOOSE DCT?

Dover Channel Training (DCT) has supported literally thousands of people to achieve their open water swimming dreams. Whether that is to swim as part of a relay team or to complete a solo challenge. It’s not just about the English Channel either, people train for all sorts of swims across the globe.

If you have a big, hairy, audacious goal, we’d love to help you.

DCT operates in Dover Harbour every Saturday and Sunday (with a few exceptions), from the beginning of May until the end of September.

We are here to support your open water swimming goals whatever you are training for.

We’re also here to support you even if you can’t physically train with us through our 1:1 support options and you can still feel part of the community through our community calls.

DCT relies on volunteer beach crew to work, if you are in a position to give back the year after your big swim, even if only for a single session or weekend, then we can keep realising our ambition to help as many people achieve their dreams as possible.
