Split times for the 39 multi-lap English Channel swims

Believe it or not, after getting to the other side of the EC, some people get right back in and swim back to the shore they started on. Amazingly, three people have gotten back in after that, and swum a 3rd lap. Some people have heroically attempted a 3rd lap, but were thwarted for one reason or another. The record books have captured their swims as 2-lapers, with the total time in the water often written into the comments section. The number of these swims plus the number of intentional 2-lapers total 36. For most years, only one multi-lap swim has been recorded, but several years saw several people completing multi-lap swims.

The figures below show the data for all 39 known swims, with the 3-lap swims colored in green. I've included the raw numbers in the spoiler. The first figure displays the crossing times for each completed lap. The 1's indicate the crossing times for the first lap, the 2's for the 2nd lap, and the 3's for the 3rd. The second figure displays the 'split differentials'. The A's indicate the '2nd lap time minus the 1st lap time' , and B's the '3rd minus the 2nd'.
