About this episode
A quick introduction to The Swim Tribe Podcast hosted by Caroline Saxon. Caroline is a swimmer from the West Midlands in England and lives in the most landlocked part of the UK. She lives and breathe swimming, and actively seeks out swimming spots in her local area to provide a reset from day to day life. When not working in her day job, she can be found either in a lake or a river; come rain or shine, summer or winter, swimming, dipping, laughing and eating cake with her swimming tribe. Caroline is a qualified open water swimming coach and has been teaching people to swim, and improve, outside for a number of years, as well as forming winter swimming club at her local lake. She has a wonderful community of people that she is part of and wants to share her story, as well as theirs, and have some laughs along the way. Caroline has been swimming outside for over 15 years and is an ex competitive pool and open water swimmer, having swum at every level, even representing Great Britain in lakes in her teens. As the current Great Britain’s ladies 1km ice swimming champion, she was selected in 2019 to be part of the Great Britain Ice Swimming Team and swam 1km in zero degree water in Murmansk, Russia in the Arctic Circle. This is a series of podcasts where Caroline speaks to many of her friends, who have anything from a few months of experience to multiple decades. They all swim for a number of reasons but have been included because at some point they have been an inspiration and enriched Caroline's experiences swimming outside, or inside in some cases. Caroline will be talking about all levels of adventure; from dipping in local spots to some bucket list swims that she and her friends have completed. This aims to provide you with a wide range of people geographically, all of whom have different experience. Please join the journey with us.
