Podcasts about rottnest channel swim

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes and ages and genders.. On the last weekend in February each year over 2000 heroes take to the water in Perth, Western Australia to swim the 19.7 kilometers from Cottesloe Beach to Rottnest Island. Highly regarded worldwide and one of Western Australia's iconic events, the South32 Rottnest Channel Swim is a 19.7km open water swim from Cottesloe Beach (Mudurup) to Rottnest Island (Wadjemup). The Rottnest Channel Swim is not only a challenge in fitness, mental toughness and ability – but a challenge in managing your mind as well. In this podcast I share just some of the stories of people I know in my Podsquad North Cottesloe swimming group who did incredible things to discover just how much resilience, how much stamina, how much courage and how much tenacity they really had. It was a magical day with incredible stories coming out of it. It made me think of David Bowie's wonderful song - Heroes. "I, I wish you could swim Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing, nothing will keep us together We can beat them, for ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day"   Listen and be inspired.   Take action yourself to set a goal - to act - belong and commit to living your best life.   #swimming #swimforempowerment #PodSquad   Want me to Coach You Lead Your Best Business - Lead Your Best Life?

The Rottnest Channel Swim was abandoned mid-swim due to wild weather conditions, since then the Rottnest Channel Swim Association has ruled out a second chance for swimmers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The purpose of this conversation is to hopefully expand your frame of reference of what it is to be in your bodies 24/7, what that means to your experience of life and where a movement orientated practice can take you through the lens of my specific personal example. Earlier this year, I successfully completed the 20km solo Rottnest Channel Swim. I had previously completed the challenge in 2016, but, despite successfully crossing, that ended up being a net negative experience physically. Therefore, this time around I enlisted the help of Mark Bernacchi, experienced explorer of all things ‘movement' and the co-founder of Modus Movement Studio in Myaree Perth. Originally, I approached Mark for guidance with preparation for the swim with the aim of increasing the integrity of my body so that, at the age of 47, I would come out of it in a net positive physical position. However, by embracing the culture and philosophy Mark has created at Modus and its application to the challenge of swimming 20km in open ocean, I started to experience the movement of my body in a deeper and broader context that exceeded the swim itself and spread out to all aspects of my life. This has given rise to a movement practice that continues to be an integral part of my life today. The practise has redefined my physical experience in life and yields so many exciting possibilities for future exploration that far exceed swimming. This conversation charts that journey. So, who would benefit from this conversation? Anybody who exercises or undertakes physical challenges; particularly anybody who exercises using singular repetitive based movement patterns, such as swimming, running, cycling, etc. Anybody who wants to consider their experience within their body more deeply Everyone who asks ‘What do you mean by movement?'

We are back with an in-depth conversation today with Bec Johnson, a Type-1 diabetes ultramarathon swimmer coached by Paul Newsome here in Perth, Western Australia. Bec was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes at the age of 17 and was determined not to let it ruin and control her active lifestyle, instead, she leaned into it and in 2015 set up the Type 1 Diabetes Family Centre in Perth (https://www.type1familycentre.org.au) to inspire others to live a healthy and active life with this incurable disease. This year, Bec is taken on the huge goal of swimming the following 3 ultramarathon swimming events - and Swim Smooth Head Coach Paul Newsome will be with her along the way - coaching from the boat and occasionally keeping pace in the water alongside Bec (if he's not too afraid of the sharks that is!): 1. The Rottnest Channel Swim (19.7km) on 23rd February 2020 2. The Port-to-Pub Channel Swim (25km and the southern hemisphere's 2nd longest swim) on 21st March 2020 3. A 39.4km swim to Rottnest Island and back again (some time in April when the conditions look good!) She is charting her progress through her fund-raising campaign: https://www.lifewithoutlimits.com.au and also on https://www.facebook.com/lifewithoutlimits2020/ and is aiming to raise $85,000 for the Type-1 Diabetes Family Centre (currently she's at $60,038 as of 7th March 2020). Bec is a wonderful ambassador, not just for Type-1 diabetes sufferers, but for everyone in all aspects of life, seeking to squeeze the last drops of fun, joy and adventure in everything she does. She has a super positive outlook filled with gratitude that comes across highly in the podcast and to everyone that she meets. When MP for Stirling Vince Connelly (who features at the start of the podcast) speaks of Bec Johnson and the wonderful work she is doing for diabetes treatment in the Australian Federal Parliament just a few days after the first swim, he calls her an "an absolute powerhouse!" and nothing could more true! This weekend in fact, she will feature on the front cover of the Sunday Times Magazine "STM" in honour of International Women's Day - amazing! She is also the only Australian to have been selected as one of the 100 Fellows of the global Facebook Community Leadership Program and has been nominated for one of the coveted 40 Under 40 awards for her work as co-founder and CEO of the Type-1 Diabetes Family Centre. Prepare to be wowed and inspired by someone who truly raises the benchmark to a whole new level! Oh yeah...and we talk about some swimming too and Bec's training regime in the Swim Smooth Perth Squad ;-) Enjoy! P.S we must apologise for the occasional "welp!" from Paul's pet dog, Sandy! Naughty Sandy!

In a slight mix up to the norm, Bryn follows the journey of avid WA Real listener Phil O'Keeffe at 3 different points during his journey to complete his first solo Rottnest Channel Swim crossing - start of training, midway and after the event. The solo swim was one of life’s ‘bucket list’ big achievements for Phil and it’s fascinating to hear how his focus develops throughout the journey and how the process of training quickly transcends the physical to the mental. Not everything turned out as planned for Phil, there's twists and turns on his journey and a nasty surprise where the sun doesn't shine. Whether you’ve completed your own bucket list life challenge or considering going for it, this provides some fantastic insights.

In this episode, we talked about the things I have learned from chatting up with the Rottnest Channel Swim 2018 winners, Solomon Wright and Heidi Gan. Leading up to the race, both of them encountered some obstacles, however, I believe they were able to rise above the situation because of these three things : -Going by Feel/Intuitiveness -Sustained Pace Work -Experience  

Nathan saw an advertisement for a meat smoker, now he wants to smoke some meat.The Rottnest Channel Swim was cancelled after a 4-metre shark was spotted among swimmers. A competitor was told by his wife he wasn't allowed to avoid the shark by getting into the boat because he'd then be disqualified. We wanted to know what happened when safety wasn’t your concern? Tallet's husband got bitten by a snake, she did nothing assuming there were no snakes in the suburbs. When Bas was on a yachting excursion in high school, the instructor was more concerned about the boats not getting damaged then the students safety. Hannah went deep sea fishing with her husband and started choking. When Michael was in the army he was more focused on eating his noodles than the enemy.When have you had to tell someone to slow down? Christie got proposed to by a guy after only seeing him for 2 months. Bronte was given a custom pair crocheted slippers on the 2nd date. Shaun went on a tinder 1st date where the girl’s parents rocked up. During a second date the guy that Julie was seeing got her name tattooed on him.Costco is coming to Perth.
