I was skeptical at first but quickly fell for this pod. Will does an excellent job discussing a topic he and his fabulous (and varied) guests are passionate about. This pod will inspire a new appreciation for your relationship with the water. 5 stars.

Such a great listen. Inspiring, insightful and gives such hope for the joy of swimming. Thank you!

Thanks for doing these interviews, open water swimming can seem a bit niche and lonely, but your podcast opens a door into the world of this sport and makes us feel more connected.

I love this podcast maybe partly because it is the first podcast or radio show or anything I have found on the topic. I think this show is contributing to setting the definition of open water swimming. I am a long time beach/ocean lifeguard, surfer, and kayaker so I’ve learned to and taught others to swim, rescue, and self rescue with confidence in a lot of water environments including dangerous currents and changing temperatures. I always found getting in the water daily in any form to be helpful for me, and secretly, I just like the swimming part the best. So it has been a joy to hear the guests on this podcast talk about wild open water swimming with such interest and variability. I learned some things, and the idea and world of open water swimming opened wider for me from this podcast.

Love this podcast. Especially during the pandemic, it is so great to hear from so many top swimmers! In addition to felling more connected to this wonderful community, I am also learning a lot

I’m a beginner open water swimmer in the states, and I so love hearing about the sport from experts. I especially love the content surrounding fear & panic - my biggest struggle! The host said in episode 1 “remember the water wants you there.” Going to remember that next time I have a panic moment!
