The Team GB history maker is stepping away from competitive swimming. 27 year old Alice Dearing became the first black woman to swim for TeamGB at an Olympic Games. She also set up the Black Swimming Association to diversify her sport and keep encouraging everyone to learn to swim - a basic life skill. But what next? Alice is keen to convey a message to other British Olympic and Paralympic athletes and staff about best preparing for the process, and this comes as UK Sport, the UK Sports Institute (UKSI) and the British Elite Athletes Association (BEAA) are increasing engagement with athletes to help them for their life beyond a funded programme.

Today's guest knows a thing or two about endurance, both in and out of the world of swimming. Get ready to meet the inspirational marathon swimmer, Alice Dearing.  Alice has been swimming since the age of four, and at the Tokyo Olympics became the first Black woman to compete in an Olympic swimming event for Team GB. It has taken 125 years from swimming's Olympic debut in 1896 for this to happen, so let's just let that sink in for a second and ask why? Well in this episode, Alice shares some insight on the racism that has prevented black people from accessing the world of swimming.  Alice isn't just a game-changer in elite sport, she is also trying to change swimming at grassroots level too, by co-founding The Black British Swimming Association, which she hopes will reverse the statistics that 95% of black adults and 80% of black children do not swim.  It doesn't stop there, Alice has co-created the very first swimming hat designed specifically for Black hair, something that is vital for representation in swimming, a place which hasn't always made space for Alice. But why wait to take a seat at the table when you can build your own, like Alice has done, right?  I really hope you will be inspired by Alice's story, as she talks about the racism and mental health hurdles she's had to overcome to participate in sport, as well as the sheer endurance it takes to just keep swimming.  As always, if you love this chat please get in touch across socials on @joshsmithhosts because it's always great chatting to you and come back next week for the next episode in our special women in sport series! Love, Josh xx P.S. I am BEYOND proud that this series is empowered by Nike, whose ambition - just like Reign - is to champion women and girls and ensure they feel seen and included in sport and beyond.  Nike is committed to celebrating ALL women, supporting HER journey by taking action to make meaningful change and coming through with innovative style-led products you will hear all about in this series.  I'm sure you will have already seen the game-changing new England women's football kit - which we talk about in this episode - that includes the new Leak Protection technology embedded in the lining of the Nike Pro Short for athletes. And Nike have also just launched the Phantom Luna - a women-led football boot, backed by Nike's most meaningful investment in women yet that has taken more than two years of research, trialling, designing and styling to develop.  We haven't even got onto the bras, leggings, Pro Hijabs and their maternity and plus size ranges so make sure you check out all of the latest innovation for HER product at Nike.com and @nikewomen.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We discuss the statement released by Nicola Bulley's family following the sad news that that the body found in river Wyre had been formally identified as Nicola Bulley who had been missing for over 3 weeks. They expressed their pain on how their loved ones were treated throughout this ordeal. They called for accountability, and for another family not to go through what they had gone through. Joining Nuala is Zoe Billingham, former head of the inspectorate of Constabulary, Ellen Milazzo from Victim Support and Baroness Helen Newlove, former victim's commissioner for England and Wales. Up to 9 in 10 first-time mothers who have a vaginal birth will have some sort of tear. So, it's no wonder that tearing is a big worry for expectant mums. Marie Louise, also known as The Modern Midwife, explains to Nuala why tears happen, and what to really expect. Plus, midwife turned inventor, Malene Hegenberger, explains how she created a retractor to help her see tears better when suturing. Why are women from diverse background much less likely to be able to swim than white women? And what can be done about it? Team GB's first black female swimmer Alice Dearing helped to found the Black Swimming Association along with journalist Seren Jones – they join Nuala to discuss. As London Fashion Week draws to a close today, the Times fashion director, 51-year-old Anna Murphy, reflects on feeling like the only woman of her age in the front row who has not had work done on her face. What she calls the normalisation of ‘tweakments' is one of the topics explored in her new book Destination Fabulous. She tells Nuala about the changing trends in tweakments, why she finds the term problematic and how to embrace ageing naturally Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Lucinda Montefiore

Seeing someone nearly drown is scary for Summaya. First black female swimmer to represent Team GB at the Olympics, Alice Dearing helps Summaya carry on.

There are 575 chemistry professors in the UK, but only one of them is black. An investigation also found that racism is “pervasive” in this area. So, a new scheme called Broadening Horizons has been launched to try to change things. Grace Odunlade, who is about to begin the programme, drops in to tell De-Graft about her own experiences. Also, a swimming cap designed for afro hair has been approved for use in top-level competitions after being banned from the Olympic Games last year. The first black woman to represent Team GB in swimming at the Olympics, Alice Dearing, stops by to explain why it's so important. And De-Graft catches up with Shermara Fletcher, who read a prayer at the Queen's funeral service. She offers some words of wisdom to those who are grieving.

Summaya Mughal can't swim. With the help of Olympic legends Rebecca Adlington and Alice Dearing, she's determined to learn. Summaya embarks on a personal journey to find out why swimming wasn't a priority when she was growing up, why there aren't more South Asian women taking to the water and what can be done to encourage more to take the plunge. Originally broadcast on local BBC radio.

At least 13 people died from drowning in the recent UK heatwave and more deaths are expected. Now, campaigners are calling for better water safety education to help prevent more fatalities. On the Sky News Daily podcast with Leah Boleto, Becky Ramsey - whose son, Dylan, died after getting into trouble in a quarry - shares why she thinks water safety should be on the national curriculum and Matt Croxall from the Royal Life Saving Society UK explains the dangers of open water swimming. Plus, Alice Dearing, Team GB Olympic swimmer, talks about the ethnic equality gap in swimming and her mission to get black children into aqua sports.Producer: Emma Rae WoodhouseInterviews producer: Alys Bowen Podcast promotion producer: David Chipakupaku Editor: Paul Stanworth

“The BSA (Black Swimming Association) is set up as a bridge… building bridges into disenfranchised and disengaged communities.” Alice Dearing made history at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, as the first black female swimmer to represent Team GB at an Olympic Games. Danielle Obe is Chair of the Black Swimming Association, a charity that she co-founded along with Alice. The Black Swimming Association (BSA) is a non-profit organisation set up to diversify the world of aquatics through education, advocacy, support and research. In England currently 95% of black adults and 80% of black children don't swim. Furthermore, black children are 3 times more likely to drown than white children (Source: Swim England) The BSA is on a mission to change this. To break down barriers that Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities face in aquatics and to highlight the importance of learning to swim, as an essential and invaluable life saving skill. Alice and Danielle, through the BSA, are determined to make aquatics safer and more accessible to their communities, by inspiring and facilitating participation and inclusion for all. Recorded Sept 2021.

For today's show, I chat to an athlete who's just returned from her first Olympic Games , open water swimmer, Alice Dearing. When we met in a small park in Camberley in the south of England, she was still unpacking all of what she's been through from being part of the hugely successful team GB to her first Olympic final and how she would approach it again. It was fascinating to listen to her talk about all of that, how she deals with the ridiculously early morning training and volume as well as the sheer danger involved in swimming in open water. Alice is also Great Britain's first female black swimmer and we talk about that as we close our chat but we start with me asking her how she's dealing with her time off and not being in a strict regime.

In this episode, we discuss several of the racist incidents involving the penalization of Black women in the 2020 Olympics including Sha'Carri Richardson's suspension, Brianna McNeal's five-year ban, Alice Dearing and the Soul Cap, Simone Biles having her amazing gymnastic skills undervalued by judges, and the many African women banned from running 400m and 800m because of their naturally high testosterone. We also discuss Nikole Hannah-Jones' decision to go teach at Howard University after finally being offered tenure at UNC Chapel Hill, and two recent incidents in the Philadelphia area where white supremacists got the exact kind of unceremonious welcome they deserved.

Alice Dearing is a marathon swimmer and is part of Team GB for Tokyo. I'm thrilled to see Alice on the team as she's been kind enough to share her journey across the last six months on Destination Tokyo. You can hear her on Episodes 3, 25, 51 and 82. But last weekend she finally qualified for Tokyo - making history as Team GB's first black swimmer heading to the Olympics. It's great to hear Alice so thrilled to become an Olympian and to carry the 'responsibility' of being the first black woman to represent Team GB at swimming with such grace and composure. Alice talks about those who've helped her over the last 16 years, the moment she qualified and which gaming consoles will be in her suitcases. Thanks for listening! And all the best to Alice!

GB swimmer Alice Dearing is on the final leg of her preparations as she prepares to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. Like many athletes, this has been a challenging time, with events cancelled and a lack of competition. Alice talks about coping mentally with the restrictions that have been on all athletes and GB citizens during 2021 and how much she's looking forward to the latest easing of restrictions and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Her original Olympic qualification event in Japan was cancelled a few weeks ago, but it's now been rearranged for next month in Portugal. Support this podcast

Alice Dearing is hoping to head to Tokyo as part of Team GB in marathon swimming. She's just back from her first competition for 13 months in Doha. Alice talks about the sport and that there are only few races a year in normal times. And whilst it all felt very alien she was really happy with her 12th place, just 7 seconds behind the winner. Alice also reveals the two songs she sang during her 2 hours in the water. But there's been another blow. Someone on the flight home tested positive for Covid and Alice is having to self-isolate. However Alice is making the most of her time. She's planning a dissertation for University on the use of Video Games in the 2020 US Election campaign for political marketing. Thanks Alice - and best wishes for the trials in Japan in May. If you're enjoying these podcasts perhaps you'll consider paying for a virtual coffee?

Alice normally competes in open water - but grabbed this opportunity as British Swimming put on a competitive meeting in Manchester. She talks about how she loved the event and describes how it worked....and hopefully paves the way for more competitions and a return to recreational pools being opened. Thanks for listening.

I've got two great guest today. Alice Dearing is aiming to be the first black woman to represent Team GB in swimming. With so much speculation about the Games this summer, Alice tells me she's of the mindset that there will be an Olympics. She feels it's so important to keep focused on the goal and not to slacken off. Alice is an open water swimmer, but barely trains here in the UK. So for her, it's pool based training and competition. She tells me that she found it quite emotionally difficult last year when the Games were cancelled as she was in great shape. Dai Greene knows this will be his last Olympics. And he's adapted to change by turning an outbuilding at the farm where he lives into a makeshift gym. He's also sharing his training plans - good and bad! He also reveals he was a British Record holder at MacDonalds in his student days! And is now putting his experiences there to good use!

I had the best time speaking to the incredibly talented endurance athlete Alice Dearing in this episode. Alice has some amazing achievements, such as representing GB in marathon (10km) swimming in three World Championships, and becoming the World Junior Open Water Champion in 2016. We explore Alice's swimming journey throughout the episode, and address the challenges she has faced within competitive sport, such as; mental health maintenance, the impact COVID-19 has had on training and mindset, overall time management and the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics to 2021. She also gave me some tips for open water swimming, and we investigate the universal benefits of training in the natural water. We conclude the episode by speaking about Alice's inspirational empowerment of diversity within the sport, where she is the co-founder of the Black Swimming Association and an ambassador for Soul Cap, both projects which possess passion for increasing inclusivity within swimming. Black lives matter in all aspects of life, and sport is fully included in this.
