"Sullivan swam the Channel on MILK
'I had only one meal during the swim, and some hot water. ...All I had was some egg and milk at 8.50 Sunday night.
'When I landed at Calais my greatest desire was for a quart or more of milk. It is the one thing that always satisfies me after a strenuous swim' - Henry Sullivan's statement after his 27-hour Channel Swim"
