Tell us a bit about your swim background
As a child I used to regularly swim in the sea having grown up next to a beach. In adulthood, I ventured further afield to places as exotic, challenging and varied as Hawaii, The North Sea and regular New Year’s Day swims in Cornwall. Sadly, I can no longer cold water swim due to a long-standing condition, so I live vicariously and draw inspiration from my best friend, Debbie, who still swims daily and swears by the health benefits of cold water swimming. Indeed, many of the swim figurines that I have produced are based on Debbie.
