Excessive Rumination: Episode 8 - Andy Truscott


Listen Later

Excessive Rumination, back in your life!

On this episode I'm joined by marathon sea-swimmer, Andy Truscott.

Andy, in 2017, became the first person to swim two laps of Jersey consecutively, a feat which, whilst absolutely incredibly, barely made island news. I met Andy shortly after that swim and we ended up collaborating together on documenting his upcoming swim, which would be for the world record for longest swim in tidal conditions. To do this, he would swim 3 consecutive laps of the island and amass a distance of over 198km.

Andy is a big figure in the world of marathon sea-swimming, and is an outspoken advocate for mental health. It was a pleasure to have him on the podcast chatting about his experience of the swim, what lessons he learnt from it and how he sees the future of sea swimming in Jersey. Also, apparently he's going to get me to swim the Channel one day...
