SwimOut

Author: SwimOut Podcast

I believe swimming is more than just a past-time, it's about ecology, creativity, conquering personal demons and redefining the limits of endurance. Presented by Vicki, a London based outdoor swimmer who has swum the English Channel and around Manhattan. The podcast is about the heroes, the eccentrics, the spaces, the untold stories and all adventures of wild swimming.

Swim Buddies
Episode 4
Thursday, 27 August, 2026

Our fourth podcast of this SwimOut 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't go to plan, the pals who become part of your swimming journey. We catch up with Hunter, my English Channel swimming and podcasting buddy. We have a fun morning with Girly Dips enjoying Pilates as well as a welcome splash and some giggles in the heatwave. We meet Naomi 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 Sal Minty-Gravett 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.Find out more: ⁠@swimoutpodcast ⁠or ⁠⁠swimout.net⁠ #swimming#openwaterswimming#doverchannelswimming#iceswimming#Channelswimming #EnglishChannel
