If weather is favorable Miss Chadwick planned to plunge into the water on an ambitious project to swim across, catch her breath on the French shore, and then swim back. She tried it in 1953 when she reached France without difficulty, but gave up after swimming 2 hours on the return journey.

On that swim she set an England-to-France record, for and women, of 14 hours 42 seconds. "I feel unusually fit," Miss Chadwick said before an early bedtime last night "We'll decide if weather is suitable tomorrow morning, and if conditions are right, set off on a night swim to France." There was a little thunder and a slight breeze last night to break a moderate heat wave. There were no storms in the offing, forecasters said, but Miss Chadwick, thinking about that long return trip, said she will wait for ideal conditions.
