In this episode of Marathon Swim Stories, I spoke with a marathon swimmer from Berlin, Germany, who loves swimming with friends and being out in nature. Matthias Kassner, graciously spent part of his Friday evening with me to chat about his adventures as he pursues the Oceans Seven. We talk about not feeling much after a big swim, overcoming the cold, giving it all you've got again and again and again, swimming in the hail, and so much more!

In his own words: I’m an open water swimmer from Berlin, Germany. I love swimming in open water because: I love beeing in the nature, I love swimming with friends, I love to challenge myself. Marathon swims I’ve completed so far are: Strait of Gibraltar, Lake Zürich, Lake Windermere, English Channel, Swim around Manhattan, Fehmarnbelt, Catalina Channel, Lake Bodensee, North Channel, Tsugaru Strait.
