dimanche 9 mars 2025 • Durée 46:44

Toy Saia'ana, a Kiwi of Samoan descent, first learned how to swim as an adult. For the past few years she has challenged herself to swim in many different environments (including in choppy seas, in the dark, through winter and without a wetsuit).

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

samedi 15 mars 2025 • Durée 39:09

Breanna Ward is a marathon swimmer and ocean advocate from Wellington, Aotearoa NZ. She is a Triple Crown swimmer which means she has achieved three extremely challenging water crossings: Raukawa Moana / Cook Strait, Lake Taupō, and Te Ara a Kiwa / Foveaux Strait. Bre swims to raise awareness for ocean conservation, fundraises for marine education, and has a soft spot for sharks. She also runs local Ocean Safety courses to enable us to be 'good' swimmers, in every sense of the word!

Here's Bre's blog post about swimming Te Ara a Kiwa:

Here's the petition we mentioned to protect orange roughy

And the Ethel Cain song Bre had in her head for her long swim!

John Hancock on Sir Bernard Freyberg's heroic wartime swim and our annual ANZAC Day tribute

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

vendredi 11 avril 2025 • Durée 43:17

Our first 'swim history' episode! Featuring special guest John Hancock, a marathon swimmer and the organiser of this year's ANZAC Day swim in Wellington. In this episode John tells the story of the brave, accomplished, and fascinating Sir Bernard Freyberg who painted himself in black and undertook a stealthy nighttime swim in Gallipoli during World War One. We also discuss a few other notable swimmers in history: John F Kennedy, Kahe Te-Rau-o-te-Rangi, and Mao Zedong. Finally, John Hancock reflects on his own 'big' swims, across Lake Taupō and Cook Strait / Raukawa Moana.

Lots of background links for this one – it is a history episode, after all!

Radio host Clarissa Dunn on the symphonies of the ocean

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

lundi 21 avril 2025 • Durée 38:41

Clarissa Dunn is a Radio New Zealand Concert presenter, a marriage celebrant, an event MC, a soprano, and an ocean swimmer. She swims to connect with her family and with nature, and it also provides a mental break from her busy life.

For her episode, Clarissa had the brilliant idea of making an 'ocean music' playlist on Spotify. I'm still embedded in the '90s hard rock era, so this has opened my mind and I can hear the breaking waves and darting fish in the various pieces of music – you can listen to it here: Clarissa's Ocean Playlist.

As a radio presenter and classical music aficionado, Clarissa has a beautiful way of describing the light and sounds of the sea.

Graham Joe on capturing sunrises, providing hot food for cold swimmers, and swimming under the stars

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

mardi 13 mai 2025 • Durée 44:23

Graham Joe is the owner of Gelissimo @ Freyberg, an outdoor cafe/kiosk right next to Freyberg Beach in Wellington. It’s a hub for morning swimmers who congregate there for coffee, scones, porridge and toasties. The post-swim conversations I have there every week, over excellent coffee, were the inspiration for this podcast.

Graham started getting in the sea a few years ago after an accident left him in pain and unable to run. He found that getting in the cold water helped his recovery so he kept doing it, slowly building in confidence and distance. Now early swims are a staple of his day, all year round.

If you're in Wellington, you should definitely check out Gelissimo @ Freyberg!
