From Australia to New Zealand, Texas to Rome and the UK, former long-distance swimmer Noah Newnham spent his youth chasing lanes across the world. 🌍

Training over 30 hours a week, earning a top-eight Texas state ranking, and winning bronze at the Welsh National Championships, Noah’s story is one of dedication, disruption, resilience and comeback after comeback. After major surgery and multiple international moves, he was forced to rebuild both his body and his identity beyond the pool.

🎙️ In this episode:

• What it takes to train 30+ hours a week, and the toll it takes outside the pool

• The benefit of major surgery and how it reshaped his career
• The impact of constant international moves on motivation, identity and belonging
• The mindset shift behind rebuilding after sport, and what they don’t tell you about life beyond it
