The English Channel presents many challenges such as strong tides, cold water temperatures,  unpredictable weather and of course that the English Channel has over 600 commercial ship movements a day.<\/p>\n<p>Rowe won the Waikiki Rough Water swim three years in a row. Luane was also the 2009 Long and short course 1500m Freestyle Australian Open silver medalist.
