Description

Have you heard of the Swim Cube? Located a few hours outside of London in Brixworth County Park, Swim Cube opened for swim coaching and analysis in 2018. Like myself, Head Coach Stuart Hacker advocates for taking the first step to improving your stroke by seeing yourself swim. It's easy to envision yourself swimming perfectly, but to actually make change, you need to connect the dots between what you think you're doing and what you're actually doing.  Even if there's not an Endless Pool near you, you can still get feedback on your stroke by taking footage of yourself swimming and sending it to me: shannon@intrepidwater.comBut did you know that Stuart is also a marathon swimmer? After a couple of experiences crossing the Sea of Galilee, he competed the English Channel in 2018. He tells us all about it in this episode.Questions, comments, feedback, or if you'd like to be a guest on Marathon Swim Stories, email me! mailto:shannon@intrepidwater.com Stay 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.

Have you ever stood at the edge of a body of water and wondered what it would be like to swim the other side? Marathon Swim Stories is where we connect with marathon swimmers around the world to find out how they got started, what makes them tick, and why the keep going. It's where we explore the human side of the superhuman feats of endurance swimmers; the connections that we have with each other, our support crew, and the waters we cross.
