Summary
Catherine “Cat” Breed is about to embark on an epic 900-mile swim along the entire California coastline, starting July 1, 2026, in a mission she calls “Swim California”—a love letter to the state’s beauty, people, and wildlife, while spotlighting ocean challenges. A former championship swimmer with feats like crossing Lake Tahoe and Monterey Bay, Breed sees this as more than endurance—it’s a statement of purpose. Documenting every mile, she’ll share stories of coastal communities and marine life, all to support her nonprofit Sea Dreamers, which empowers women through ocean adventure and conservation. With unpredictable weather, powerful currents, and grueling conditions ahead, Breed’s goal isn’t just to finish—but to prove what’s possible when you commit to a cause bigger than yourself. Public events and community engagement will mark her journey, culminating near the U.S.-Mexico border later that fall. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
