If


According to a guy at work, 18 laps (back and forth) in the Andover YMCA pool is a half mile. If the pool at Roosevelt Middle School is the same length, and if I can swim 18 laps in 45 minutes, and if the English channel was calm, and if I swam across the narrowest part (21 miles) and if the water temperature in the channel was above 80 degrees, how long would it take me to swim across the English channel? This is a big IF.
