The swimmers come from all over the World, as well as Britain.
People who were swimming in the Harbour this year, weren't necessarily swimming the Channel this year, but practicing for next year or 2012.
Many swimmers don't get to swim across, for various reasons - the weather, the tides (spring and nip), maybe they're just not up to it.
They do bring lots of money into Dover - the pilot boats are not cheap and of course there's the trainers, family and observers too.
