Stories from Caroline Saxon's Swimming Tribe.
Adventures of swimmers starting out, dipping their toes, to seasoned swimmers ticking off bucket list swims.
Today I chat to Jonty Warneken, an all round proper good chap, who is much smaller than he was when I met him! Jonty is a cold water swimming, mega skiing, former rugby playing, dog loving amputee who has massively inspired me hugely on my journey though the ice.
He is an ice miler, global board member for IISA and top pal of mine.
We chat about how our experiences were similar, but very different, as young people and how these events have shaped our futures. We chat about losing a limb, losing identities and losing a whole person in weight.
We chat rugby, swimming and learning about ourselves. We discuss Jonty's accident, amputation, bariatric surgery and commitment to sport as well as aspirations, body dysmorphia, expectation, disappointment, Russia, ice miles, my mother eating porn, and lots of other random stuff.
Jonty is a great friend of mine and we chat quite openly about some of the things we have been though.
There maybe some accidental small swears. Apologies.
**Please note this podcast was recorded in Feb 2020. The world has changed!**
