During the last few months of 2023, I visited the land of my birth Australia for the first time in nearly ten years. There were many highlights of that trip, which will be in another post. However, when I was visiting Perth WA on the way home I went for a few swims with the Podsquad at North Cottesloe Beach. I quickly realised when I was swimming with them that I was no longer the fastest Australian in that body of water.

Anyway I was presented with a swimcap by the group, having swum with them three times. I got talking to Leigh and it turns out he does a podcast. He was blown away by my cold water swimming in Scotland, so we arranged a discussion in late January 2024. If you want to watch the podcast, here is the link

It was odd to be talking to him in the middle of a Scottish winter as he was in Perth WA having one of the hottest summers on record.

I hope you enjoy it.

A big thanks to Leigh Farnell for the opportunity for the podcast.
