Rip", organised by The Rip Swim organisation. The first one was in 2015 and Sam Sheppard and Naantali Marshall were the winners. The next race, which took place in 2018 was the single biggest crossing of "The Rip" so far. On that day 142 swimmers crossed in what was a combination of racing and group swimming. The Rip Swim organisation now focusses their efforts on taking small groups across, each accompanied by a kayaker and boats to ensure their safety.
