#171: Lauren Tischendorf on Swimming Around Lord Howe Island

You’ll meet Lauren Tischendorf on Sparta Chicks Radio this week.

In 2021, Lauren because the first woman to swim around Lord Howe Island - a distance of 32.2km that she completed in 13 hours and 50 minutes. Lauren’s story is captured in an award-winning documentary called "I Just Went For a Swim”.

Lauren is a school teacher by day and an endurance athlete outside school hours.

An ultra-marathon runner, she started focusing on her ocean swimming about 5 years ago.

In that time, she’s become an accomplished ocean swimmer and is the reigning 5km ocean swimming champion of NSW.

And yet, an off-handed comment by another swimmer about the fact she couldn’t keep up with them prompted her to ask herself what she was capable of.

The result: a 32km swim around the shark-infested waters of Lord Howe Island.
