This sculpture features two blocks of white Portland stone on a bed of slate. On the top are profiles of swimmers pushing forward into a wave of stone.

It was created in 1995 by artist, Ray Smith and is a memorial for cross-channel swimmers. It also marks the start/end of the North Downs Way as well as National Cycle Network routes 1 and 2.
