My River Avon Swim
<p>Vicki sets out to follow in her father’s footsteps and swim down the River Avon from Bath to Bristol. She is joined on this adventure by her wife <strong>Oonagh</strong>. Along the way she meets up with her family for some reminiscing about her father, and talks to <strong>Johnny Palmer</strong>, a passionate swimmer and “disrupter” who inspires and enables many swims around Bristol. We also discuss swimming in the Avon with Luke and Charlie from <strong>All-Aboard Watersports</strong> who organise swimming in the Bristol docks. Vicki gets help from <strong>CK SUP and Paddle</strong> at Newbridge outside Bath, and then has a refreshing swim with <strong>Bart</strong>, one of her father's rowing friends. <strong>Becca Drazin</strong> from the group <strong>Conham Bathing</strong> tells us about how much she likes her swim spot on the River Avon. To end we hear a beautiful poem about the river by <strong>Mrs Meg Avon</strong>. Find out how the swim goes….</p><p>Find out more:<strong> </strong><strong>@swimoutpodcast </strong>or<strong> </strong><a href="https://swimout.net/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>swimout.net</strong></a></p><p>@johnny palmer</p><p>@all-aboard watersports</p><p>@conhambathing</p><p>@CK Sup &Paddle</p><p>@mrs_meg_avon</p><p><br></p>
