Luane Rowe, an industrial designer at FINIS, and world-class marathon swimmer Shelley Clark completed the English Channel as a duo.

Between the young pair, they have spent years in the ocean preparing themselves for the challenge. They prepared well, gradually doing longer, colder and tougher swims.

So on their day, they enjoyed the experience so much, they rarely stopped smiling when they were on the boat. But when the dynamic duo were in the water, they were all business.
