August 21, 2025 S2 E11 - Motivation, Milestones & Making sure we have some fun
This week we’re diving into the rollercoaster of staying motivated (spoiler: it’s not always easy!) and sharing how our own training is going. We chat about spotting progress — in ourselves and our swimmers — even when it feels like nothing’s moving forward. Then we switch gears to talk all things fundraising for our Channel Swim charity: the fun ideas, the exciting extras, and how you can jump in and get involved. It’s part training talk, part pep talk, and part party planning — so come along for the splash! 🌊💪

July 31, 2025 S2 E9 - Four Swims, One Swoosh, and a Seal Surprise
In this jam-packed episode, we dive into one of the biggest weekends of our training so far. From a full day of Channel relay training with four sea swims—replicating the real deal—to joining a brilliant group for the Bantham Swoosh the very next day, we didn’t stop there. We followed it up with an unforgettable boat trip to Lundy Island, where we swam with seals and shared one of the best lunches we’ve ever had. Oh—and we finally made it to Burgh Island too!
We also celebrate the return of our beloved van Joy, back on the road and part of our swim adventures once again. Plus, we give you a sneak peek into a new tool we’re developing to help our swimmers track their progress and celebrate every stroke of improvement.
Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just in it for the stories, this one’s a journey you won’t want to miss.

July 11, 2025 S2 E8 - Meet Gemma our fellow quarter of Four the Sea, Channel Relay Team
This week, we welcome a very special guest – our great friend and teammate Gemma, one-quarter of our English Channel relay team, "Four the Sea." In this warm and open conversation, we dive into how Gemma came on board with the challenge, what it means to her, and who she’s swimming for.
We reflect on the Swim Trek adventure (or "bootcamp," as Gemma likes to call it!), and how it's shaped our training, mindset, and team bond. But more than that, this episode brings some powerful honesty – as we find out things we didn’t know about each other and realise that no matter where we are in our swimming journey, we’re all facing similar waves.
Expect laughs, a few emotional moments, and a whole lot of inspiration. This is more than a swim story – it’s a story of connection, courage, and doing something truly extraordinary, together.

July 04, 2025 S2 E7 The Sea Dog adventures, Coastline Swims and fellow Charity Swimmers
In this feel-good episode, we celebrate the stunning Larkstone to Hele Bay coastal swim – a local gem that never fails to deliver salty smiles and scenic rewards. We also shine a spotlight on an epic swim challenge by our incredible friend who's taking on ten of Switzerland’s largest lakes for charity – an inspiring feat of endurance and heart.
We dive deep into the topic of mental strength: what it takes to push through when the water gets tough, and how our trusty salty sea dog has been lending a paw in our English Channel training swims. 💪🐾

May 09, 2025 S2 E4 - Project Into The Blue, is in full flow
In this episode, we dive into our recent work with local schools and One Ilfracombe on the inspiring Into the Blue initiative. Aimed at helping school children connect with their coastal environment, the program brings Year 5 and 6 students out of the classroom and into the sea for six weeks of exciting water-based activities—including sea swimming with Coastal Swim Coaching, coasteering, SUP boarding, and kayaking with H2Outdoor and Active Escapes. Hosted at the Ilfracombe Water Sports Hub, this initiative is all about confidence, respect, and community spirit. We reflect on the past three weeks working with these amazing kids, chat about our own channel swim training, and share plenty of updates from the water. This one's packed with stories, salt, and inspiration!

April 22, 2025 S2 E3 - Happy 4th Birthday!
What began as a spark of an idea—just a ripple on the surface—has grown into a powerful community of open water swimmers connected by courage, joy, and a shared love of the sea. Looking back through the photos and memories, it’s incredible to see just how far we’ve come.
In this special anniversary episode, we reflect on the journey: the early morning meetups, the cold dips, the breakthroughs, and belly laughs. Most of all, we celebrate you—our community—who have trusted us, supported us, and kept showing up no matter the tide.
Whether you’ve swum with us once or a hundred times, thank you for being part of our ocean story. Here's to many more salty years ahead! 💙🌊

April 08, 2025 S2 E3 - Let's talk about AFTERDROP from those who have experienced it!
In our next episode, we sit down with two of our dedicated swimmers who have experienced the often-overlooked but crucial phenomenon of afterdrop — the chilling effect that can occur after swimming in cold water. Our guests share firsthand accounts of how afterdrop affected them physically and mentally, and the lasting repercussions it had on their bodies and minds.
We'll dive into their personal experiences, discussing how it feels when the body suddenly cools down after exposure to cold water, and the importance of understanding this reaction to prevent accidents. This episode isn't just about sharing stories — it's about raising awareness and spreading knowledge to ensure that everyone can enjoy the thrill of cold-water swimming safely.
Tune in to hear why it's essential to listen to your body, stay informed, and keep safety a priority while embracing the invigorating world of cold-water swimming. We hope to empower you with the information you need to keep yourself and others safe while still enjoying the unique and energizing experience of swimming in the wild waters.
Make sure to join us and help spread the word!
