On 11 July 2011, Abhejali Bernardova from Czech Republic swum the English Channel in a time of 14 hours and 37 minutes. Abhejali is the 27th member of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team to complete the crossing and the 42nd solo swim overall -- the record for the most Channel crossings by any team.
Her pilot was Chris Osmond on the Seafarer II boat.
Previously, Abhejali was part of an SCMT international relay team that swum the Channel in 2009 in a 4-person team which included Vasanti Niemz from Germany, who was the first member of the SCMT to swim the Channel in 1985.
