Epic Swim Challenges

Pushing limits, making waves, and creating stories that inspire

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of travelling the world and taking on some incredible swims.

From calm lakes and rushing rivers, to tropical oceans and icy crossings (yes, Ireland to Scotland, I’m looking at you), each swim has been an unforgettable adventure with its own unique story.

Whether racing, raising awareness for causes close to my heart, or simply swimming for joy, every challenge has taught me something new, connected me with amazing people, and reminded me why I love this sport so much.​​
