  I'm going to be in the UK and flying in early so I can visit Dover area as I'm considering a channel swim in a few years. I wont' get to Dover until Saturday afternoon, but is there a group that swims Sunday morning (April 9th) anywhere ? Any recommendations of inexpensive places to stay (or not stay) in the area ?
  
  Thanks
  -Dennis

  Hi Dennis,
  
  I believe the training sessions in Dover Harbour don't start until May, but you might want to double check that with the CS&PF or the CSA, they might also be able to tell you about any other groups that swim this time of year.

  For accommodation, take a look at http://www.stayindover.co.uk/accommodation, there's a range of options and prices.

  Thanks,
  I know I'm early in the season, but my travels happen to align to allow a weekend in Dover to see it first hand.
