List of successful English Channel swimmersList of notable English Channel swimmers – This title would clarify that this is not a complete list of successful English Channel swimmers. Yes, swimming the channel is an amazing feat by most people's standards, but it isn't enough for a place in this article (there are other places for such lists). Good-faith editors often add "common or garden" successful swims to this list, and have to be reverted. The current list title is misleading as it suggests an inclusive list. There may well be a better title than the one I suggest - and I suggest that the list itself should include a clearer criterion of what goes into the "First swims" table, to clarify that it's not any random swimmer's first swim, but a "first" in some wider category.

First swims

[edit]

Surely the actual records are more important than the list of "firsts"?128.151.71.8 (talk) 17:27, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate firsts

[edit]

Two different Macedonian men seem to be claiming first Macedonian, and Winnie the Canadian has a duplicate entry near the bottom of the Firsts table. Lynn Ami (talk) 07:31, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
