5 days ago

A safe space for swimmers and non-swimmers to be able to talk about their peaks and troughs of life, love, mental health, what being in the water means to them and how they are kind to themselves. A podcast that covers big life events plus all the other little but important bits in-between. Listeners can expect lots of laughs, hopefully learn something new along the way, gain some tips on cold water swimming, feel inspired to do things that make them feel good and hopefully they will want to keep coming back for more heart warming discussions.

The Thrills of Open Water Swimming, Gaining Confidence & Building a Community with Ffi Swims

Ffion is an avid open water swimmer, swimming all year round and is a Mental Health Swims host at Northdock, Llanelli.

From dipping with the Dawn Stalkers at sunrise to swimming 5K in the Cotswold Big Swim in June just gone, Ffi showcases the most beautiful dipping spots across the UK and beyond.

In this episode we talk about what being in the water means to Ffi and how it has allowed her more freedom and body confidence. We touch on the community she has built through her swimming Instagram account and how far she has come since her first rocky sea swim.

There are also some top tips for anyone thinking about taking up cold water swimming later this year.

It was a delight to chat to Ffi, she is such a warm and genuine character – I hope you enjoy the episode.
