Hello and welcome to Wild Wimmin the wild swimming podcast - I’m Laura MacdonaldToday I’m chatting with Roxanne Woolcot, an NHS nurse from Scarborough, North Yorkshire, who only took to the sea in March 2021. Since taking up sea swimming though she has built up a community swimming group of fellow NHS workers, which has become a vital support system for all the swimmers.  We got ourselves a snug weezoom room back in October to discuss all things frontline working, big drum bangers, chub rub and the responsibility that comes from being the mama mermaid. You can follow Roxanne @ the_scarborosiren_ and @thehubseaswimmers on Instagram. You can support the podcast by buying me a ko-fi . You can contribute to my goal of covering production costs and will be helping to shape the future of the podcast.Links:Sea swim safety and ripshttps://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/category/survive/seas/Safer Sea Swimming online course - @immersehebrides https://bookwhen.com/h2otraining?tags=Swimming#focus=ev-salj-20220103200000Seals and how to dealshttps://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/seal-swimming/Massive thanks as always to The Housecoat Project for allowing me to use their song Wild Wimmin as the theme music.
