We believe swimming is more than just a pastime, it’s about ecology, creativity, conquering personal demons and redefining the limits of endurance. I am Vicki, a London based ultra endurance swimmer and swimming enthusiast with a background in radio. The podcast is about the heroes, the eccentrics, the spaces, the untold stories and adventures of outdoor swimming in all its wonderful forms.

Catalina: The big channel challenge
In this edition of the SwimOut podcast we tell the story of my Catalina Channel swim in California. This is a 20 mile swim, with many challenges to overcome, both practical and psychological. The podcast explores the many twists and turns of such a long journey. Both the podcast and the challenge are with the help of Oonagh, my wife and chief crew for this enormous undertaking. If successful the Triple Crown of open water swimming will be earned.
We hear from coaches, pilots, observers and kayakers. My crew share their thoughts and Monica, my support swimmer, doubles as chief interviewer on board. We also get insights on the swim and how to be successful from Lynne Cox who first did the swim when she was only 14 years old. Plus we get to hear all the messages sent by my friends during the swim.
Listen now to find out if I overcame my fears and won the battle against indecision, very rough conditions, an injured shoulder, exhaustion and scary wildlife.
