Summary

In this episode we sit down with Alison, a fellow Channel swimmer who bravely took on the big blue but had her attempt heartbreakingly cut short after just 4 hours – not from lack of grit, but from a full team wipeout thanks to severe sea sickness ! 🤢🌊 We chat all things Channel swimming: the rollercoaster build-up in the hours before setting off, the boat (yep, we’re heading out on the mighty Anastasia 🚤), and what to expect when you’re about to spend hours in cold, dark, and unpredictable waters. It’s honest, funny, and full of insights about the highs and lows of chasing the dream of swimming to France. 🇫🇷💪 Whether you’re a swimmer, supporter, or just curious about what it really takes, this one’s packed with stories, laughs, and a big dose of inspiration.
