I had the privilege of sitting down with one of our powerhouse members Calli Swims, who shared her recent experience of swimming the iconic English Channel.

From a 3am wake up and thunderstorms as she entered the water, to a soul-testing end to the swim, Calli showed courage and tenacity from start to finish.

One of my favourite things is hearing about the journey that swimmers experience leading up to a goal swim, as this is almost always where the magic happens.

Yes - it's great to achieve the goal - but it's the person that you become along the way, and the people that you share the experience with that truly matters.

What an incredible sunrise at Fish Hoek this morning.

Lucky to witness this natural beauty before hopping into the ocean for a team swim!
