In this deeply personal episode, we talk about the driving force behind our upcoming English Channel Relay Swim and why we’ve chosen to support The Body Happy.Org. This incredible charity works to promote body positivity and neutrality, particularly for children, in a world that can be challenging when it comes to self-image and self-acceptance.

As swim coaches, we see first-hand how body image affects our swimmers. Whether it’s stepping into a swimsuit, building confidence in the water, or embracing what their bodies can do, these experiences are a constant reminder of the importance of fostering positive attitudes toward ourselves and others. We open up about our own journeys with body image, the struggles, the growth, and why this mission feels so close to home.

The episode also includes discussion about child sexual abuse. These are important but sensitive topics, so please take care while listening.

Join us as we share our passion for this cause, how it connects to our swim coaching, and why swimming the English Channel is about more than just the challenge—it’s about making a difference.
