Episode 003 features a conversation with open water marathon swimmer Pat Gallant-Charette. Pat talks about her astonishing journey that took her from being a 46-year old spectator mom to becoming a world record holder who has conquered some of the most difficult open water swims on the planet. Pat lives the belief that you're never too old to try something new, and twenty years after she took her first open water swim, she's continuing to bust boundaries and break records.
