Hetzel Survives English Channel Swim Inspires Return
New York cop Tom Hetzel, 32, 6 foot 175 pounds, recounts his 18 hour 54 minute Channel crossing last summer done to debt reasons. He describes the cold 62 degree water, jellyfish, and hunger while detailing the vivid near quit at 300 yards from shore and the pride of joining 104 successful crossers since 1875. He plans to attempt another Channel swim this summer and says he is an athlete, not a daredevil like Webb.
