Latest position attached. Tide changes every 6 hours, hence the turns. Expecting one to come shortly. Aiming to get closer to the cap! pic.twitter.com/cPgG63m54F

Mr Nolan, who is deaf, said that he started planning his charity swim two years ago and dedicated weekends and evening training for the event.
He said: "Swimming the English Channel was a dream before but now I have turned it into a real goal."
