I had the best time speaking to the incredibly talented endurance athlete Alice Dearing in this episode. Alice has some amazing achievements, such as representing GB in marathon (10km) swimming in three World Championships, and becoming the World Junior Open Water Champion in 2016. We explore Alice's swimming journey throughout the episode, and address the challenges she has faced within competitive sport, such as; mental health maintenance, the impact COVID-19 has had on training and mindset, overall time management and the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics to 2021. She also gave me some tips for open water swimming, and we investigate the universal benefits of training in the natural water. We conclude the episode by speaking about Alice's inspirational empowerment of diversity within the sport, where she is the co-founder of the Black Swimming Association and an ambassador for Soul Cap, both projects which possess passion for increasing inclusivity within swimming. Black lives matter in all aspects of life, and sport is fully included in this. We really hope that you enjoy this episode!
