In this episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we are thrilled to welcome former Great Britain swimmer, Commonwealth Champion, and Olympic silver medallist, Dan Wallace.

Join us as we dive deep into Dan's swimming career, his decision to retire at a young age, and his upcoming challenge - swimming the English Channel for a noble cause.

Dan shares intriguing stories from his time as a competitive swimmer, his decision to retire at just 24, and how his outlook on goals during his final years in swimming has helped him retain a love for the sport, post-retirement.

One of the highlights of this episode is Dan's ambitious undertaking to swim the English Channel. He speaks about the rationale behind choosing this challenge, the significance of the charities he is supporting - Cancer Research and three charities bringing humanitarian aid to those impacted by the war in Ukraine - and how he has prepared for this mammoth task, from bracing himself against cold water temperatures to battling currents and waves.
