After a devastating injury, Kim Chambers almost lost her leg, but she definitely did not lose her fighting spirit. When she first dipped her toe in the pool as part of her rehab process, little did she know that she was about to embark upon a journey to become one of the greatest open water swimmers in the world.

Marathon Swimming Hall of Famer Kim Chambers is only the sixth person ever to complete the Ocean’s Seven challenge... solo. That's seven open water channel swims. Think summiting Mount Everest in a bathing suit x 7... hours upon hours upon hours of swimming in critter-filled, often quite cold water. Kim is also the first and only woman in the world to solo swim the 30 miles of shark inhabited waters from the Farallon islands to the golden gate of San Francisco. We spoke at the kickoff of Women’s History Month at The Battery in San Francisco (right before everything shut down!) about taking risks, jellyfish and body image--as well as how important having a team who believes in you is for "individual" success.

As a record breaking and award winning open-water marathon  swimmer, including the Ocean's Seven, which consists of seven long-distance open-water swims, Kim Chambers shares what it's like to conquer goals she never thought she could attain. After sustaining injuries from falling down stairs and learning that she may never walk again, Kim saw some of her darkest, most terrifying moments. As part of her healing, both mentally and physically, she found the ocean water to be a powerful source of possibility, where no one judged her scars, scoffed at her limp or saw her as a failure. Instead, she found the community of swimmers to be a reinvigoration of her mind, body, and soul and push through adversity, not only to walk again, but to swim marathon races all across the world. Her story is one of incredible inspiration, where she was able to see the gifts in failure and harness the power of ordinary people doing extraordinary things in order to push past your limits to grow and thrive.

Kim Chambers was 30 years old, an athlete and a powerful executive, when she slipped and fell down a set of stairs. The injuries she sustained changed the course of her life. In 2014, she became the sixth person (and third woman) to complete the Oceans Seven. In 2015, Kim became the first woman to swim 30 miles from the Farallon Islands to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, a swim that’s incredibly dangerous.

Racing to work, this record breaking ultra marathon swimmer, suddenly loses her footing and crashes down the stairs, smashing her right leg violently on the ceramic pot below. Her limb begins to blow up from the blunt force trauma and the swelling won’t stop as she is raced to the emergency room. Doctors must work feverishly to save her leg. They have only 30 minutes before they will need to amputate. What makes Kimberley Chambers story so remarkable is she was only minutes away from losing her leg 11 years ago after a horrific accident. Not only did she learn to walk again after her life literally came crashing down, but she took up swimming for the first time in her life and became a record breaking long distance swimmer. Kim is one of only a few people to complete the Ocean's Seven, a challenge consisting of seven open water channel crossings. One of the crossings includes the frigid North Channel waters, between Ireland and Scotland, where Kim was stung by 100’s of jellyfish and nearly died from hypothermia. In 2015, she became the first woman to swim from the Farallon Islands to the Golden Gate Bridge – a distance of approximately 30 miles, over 17 hours, in shark infested waters. Kim is about facing her fears head on, refusing to take no for an answer, and jumping in to the unknown at the very deep end, which for this marathon swimmer, literally means the ocean.

Kiwi, record-setting, marathon open-water swimmer KIM CHAMBERS is courageous AF, photo by director Kate Webber Kim Chambers Record-setting, marathon open-water swimmer Kim Chambers (www.kimswimsfilm.com) from New Zealand, has conquered great odds to be here. Still very much in recovery mode from yet another life-threatening medical setback, she came on to share valuable lessons from her story of perseverance, resilience and hope. It was a grave injury and severe depression that took Kimberly Chambers to the water. This week she was the first New Zealand woman to be inducted into the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame. (And, let me be clear, Kim was a bad swimmer when she started on this journey in her early thirties.) Her swims have taken her around the world, along the way raising $1.7 million for veteran organization. For Kim, these swims are not simply athletic events, they are journeys of the self, stretching her mind and her body and her spirit. Among many notable achievements, she is the first and only woman to swim through a 30 mile stretch of ocean populated with the largest concentration of great white sharks in the world. No wet suit. No shark cage. To learn more, listen in and be sure to check out the award winning documentary, KIM SWIMS, capturing her story, and available now on iTunes, Amazon, Vimeo.

Kim Chambers is a world record breaking athlete with a very untraditional path to getting there. After a freak accident left her 30 minutes away from amputating her leg, she was given a 1% chance of ever walking again. Unwilling to accept her diagnosis she worked to rehab her leg and this woman went from not being a swimmer to raising the bar world wide for women's athletics. But this isn't an interview about her swims (although we do talk about them). In this interview we're digging deep behind the scenes with conversations about body image, being a female role model, the importance of discipline, how to ignore the nay-sayers, and why you should push your limits to become your best self.
