Where extraordinary people share their stories.

In this episode of Swimming the Strait, I talk with Corrina Connor, marathon swimmer, librarian, and cellist, about her first attempt to swim the Cook Strait. This is the first of a two-part conversation where we explore what it means to show up for something big, face the unexpected, and keep moving forward.

What does it take to push past your limits and take on the world’s toughest open-water swims? In this episode of Swimming the Strait, I sit down with Caitlin O’Reilly, who, at the time of our conversation, was on her journey to completing the Ocean’s Seven, one of the most grueling endurance challenges in open-water swimming. Since then, she has made history as the youngest person ever to complete it.

Joining us is Rebecca Hollingsworth, an ultra marathon swimmer whose impressive resume includes some of the most challenging swims in the world.
