Swim Buddies

<p>Our fourth podcast of this <strong>SwimOut</strong> season is all about diving in with our swim Buddies, the people who keep us coming back for another dip. These are the swimmers that push us, inspire us and look after us when the swims don&#39;t go to plan, the pals who become part of your swimming journey. </p><p>We catch up with Hunter, my English Channel swimming and podcasting buddy. We have a fun morning with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/girlydips/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Girly Dips</strong></a><strong> </strong>enjoying Pilates as well as a welcome splash and some giggles in the heatwave. We meet <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nay.aminah/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Naomi </strong></a>who tells us about all the groups she is part of which inspire and drive her to success in sport. I have a luscious dip at West Reservoir with a fabulous group who support each other through their mental health challenges. I go on a swimcamp in Jersey with<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dolfinsal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><u><strong>Sal Minty-Gravett</strong></u> </a>and record the delighted thoughts of my swim buddies for the week at the end of the trip. Finally I chat with Monica who will be my support swimmer for my Catalina challenge.</p><p>Find out more:<strong> </strong>⁠<a href="https://www.instagram.com/swimoutpodcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>@swimoutpodcast</strong></a><strong> </strong>⁠or<strong> </strong>⁠<a href="https://swimout.net/"><u>⁠</u><strong>swimout.net</strong><u>⁠</u></a> </p><p>#swimming</p><p>#openwaterswimming</p><p>#doverchannelswimming</p><p>#iceswimming</p><p>#Channelswimming </p><p>#EnglishChannel</p><p><br></p>
