Description

I loved hearing Craig Lewin's Marathon Swim Story. Now a triple crown finisher, Craig was one of the first Americans to travel to England earlier this year, despite the pandemic and the 14 day quarantine period, in order to successfully swim across the English Channel. As Craig attests, it's valuable to have a coach keep you accountable as you pursue your swimming goals. I once heard it said, as children we have role models, tutors, and coaches whether in sport or education, but somehow after we get out of school, we think we have everything figured out and rarely do people pursue coaches. If you're striving to be more, I highly recommend connecting with someone who clicks with you. If you want to see if we click, book a conversation with me at http://intrepidwater.com.In his own words: Craig Lewin is a USA Swimming Coach, ASCA Level 2 Coach and a US Masters Swimming Level 1 & 2 coach with over 10 years of swim coaching experience. He is a graduate of Boston College with degrees in Economics and Sociology, a graduate of Salem State College with a BS in Sport Movement Science and a graduate of Northeastern University with an MS in Clinical Exercise Physiology. Craig swam collegiately for the Division 1 Men's Swimming & Diving team at Boston College. He recently completed his Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming in July of this year with his English Channel Swim. Craig has done several marathon swims, including the Boston Light Swim, Swim Across the Sound 25km and the 25km swim at the USA Swimming Open Water National Championships in 2005 & 2006. He was a support swimmer for two separate English Channel swim attempts and recently completed his own solo swim across the English Channel in 2020. Along with marathon swimming, Craig has competed in triathlon at a high level and qualified for the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in 2008.Questions, comments, feedback, or if you'd like to be a guest on Marathon Swim Stories, email me! mailto:shannon@intrepidwater.comStay in touch by joining our email list at http://intrepidwater.comJoin a supportive group of limit pushers at The Marathon Swimming Collective Music credit:Epic Inspiration  by Rafael KruxLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5447-epic-inspiration-License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Swimming sounds courtesy of swimmer Todd Lantry.
