Mon, 30 Mar 2026 14:06:35 GMT

This week we’re sharing some exciting updates, starting with a brilliant opportunity from within our swim community, the chance to make use of a boat, opening up a whole new world of adventure for our sea swims.

We also chat about a new endless pool business idea, what it could look like, and why we’re so excited about the possibilities it could bring.

The conversation then turns to something deeper, the value of our health. How much is it really worth to us? And what would we be willing to invest to protect and maintain it?

Our Drill of the Moment is the Twister, a great drill to help improve rotation and create a more connected, efficient stroke in the water.

And to finish, our Tell It to the Sea moments reflect on this week’s bouncy swims, the joy, the energy, and those feel-good moments that remind us why we love the sea so much.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 14:26:41 GMT

In this week’s episode we share our experience of completing our Level 2 Powerboat course.

With our own power-steered boat, this felt like an important step for us as we plan to use it more to support our swimming and coaching.

We also dive into a more serious discussion about Dirty Business and the shocking behaviour of water companies and what it means for those of us who love spending time in the sea.

Our Drill of the Moment is the Long Dog a brilliant drill for helping swimmers develop reach, their catch and a smooth, connected stroke.

This week we’re lacing up our trainers and surprising ourselves… yes, we’ve entered our jogging era and we’re actually proud of it 🏃‍♀️👏

Our drill of the moment is the brilliant single-arm drill, perfect for improving catch, body position, breathing control, and identifying imbalances in your stroke.

And we finish with our Tell It to the Sea moment, where the water became a place of release, reset and reflection for our swimmers. Sometimes it’s not about pace or distance, it’s about letting the sea hold it all.

Our drill of the moment is the brilliant 6-Kick Switch, perfect for improving body position, balance, rotation and timing.

S3 E3 - Bone Conduction & Brave Conversations

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 16:24:02 GMT

This week, we’re letting you in on one of our biggest game changers in coaching — our bone conduction speaker pucks

We talk about how we use this technology with both ourselves and our swimmers to communicate in real time while swimming. From correcting technique and improving form mid-stroke, to offering reassurance, encouragement, and motivation exactly when it’s needed — this has completely transformed how people learn, progress, and connect in the water.

But it’s not just about faster or more efficient swimming. It’s about confidence, clarity, and feeling supported while you’re actually in the environment you’re training for.

We also dive into some of our recent social media posts around winter swimming, dipping vs swimming, and the conversations they sparked. We’ve had everything from agreement and thoughtful additions, to questions, challenges, and outright disagreement — and honestly, we love it.

Because these conversations matter.

They open the door to better understanding, shared experiences, and a more inclusive, informed open-water swimming community — where there’s room for different approaches, different goals, and different voices.

Whether you’re a winter dipper, a year-round swimmer, curious about coaching tech, or just love thoughtful discussion around the sea — this episode is for you

Sat, 27 Sep 2025 16:03:59 GMT

In this episode we sit down with Alison, a fellow Channel swimmer who bravely took on the big blue but had her attempt heartbreakingly cut short after just 4 hours – not from lack of grit, but from a full team wipeout thanks to severe sea sickness! 🤢🌊

S2 E8 - Meet Gemma our fellow quarter of Four the Sea, Channel Relay Team

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 09:32:01 GMT

This week, we welcome a very special guest – our great friend and teammate Gemma, one-quarter of our English Channel relay team, "Four the Sea." In this warm and open conversation, we dive into how Gemma came on board with the challenge, what it means to her, and who she’s swimming for.

We reflect on the Swim Trek adventure (or "bootcamp," as Gemma likes to call it!), and how it's shaped our training, mindset, and team bond. But more than that, this episode brings some powerful honesty – as we find out things we didn’t know about each other and realise that no matter where we are in our swimming journey, we’re all facing similar waves.

Expect laughs, a few emotional moments, and a whole lot of inspiration. This is more than a swim story – it’s a story of connection, courage, and doing something truly extraordinary, together.

In this special anniversary episode, we reflect on the journey: the early morning meetups, the cold dips, the breakthroughs, and belly laughs. Most of all, we celebrate you—our community—who have trusted us, supported us, and kept showing up no matter the tide.

Whether you’ve swum with us once or a hundred times, thank you for being part of our ocean story. Here's to many more salty years ahead! 💙🌊

S2 E3 - Let's talk about AFTERDROP from those who have experienced it!

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 07:00:00 GMT

In our next episode, we sit down with two of our dedicated swimmers who have experienced the often-overlooked but crucial phenomenon of afterdrop — the chilling effect that can occur after swimming in cold water. Our guests share firsthand accounts of how afterdrop affected them physically and mentally, and the lasting repercussions it had on their bodies and minds.

We'll dive into their personal experiences, discussing how it feels when the body suddenly cools down after exposure to cold water, and the importance of understanding this reaction to prevent accidents. This episode isn't just about sharing stories — it's about raising awareness and spreading knowledge to ensure that everyone can enjoy the thrill of cold-water swimming safely.

Tune in to hear why it's essential to listen to your body, stay informed, and keep safety a priority while embracing the invigorating world of cold-water swimming. We hope to empower you with the information you need to keep yourself and others safe while still enjoying the unique and energizing experience of swimming in the wild waters.

Make sure to join us and help spread the word!

S2 E1 - The 500 Freakout!

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 10:07:49 GMT

Your body needs to warm up to feel good when swimming. So often we don't allow our bodies time to warm up and acclimatise to what we are doing. This may be due to our expectations being too high too soon, or wanting to achieve more than our body is ready for! So with that, it means that when we are not prepared sometimes we can experience what we call, The 500 Freakout!

S1 E39 We have CHOSEN OUR CHARITY!

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 12:10:05 GMT

In this deeply personal episode, we talk about the driving force behind our upcoming English Channel Relay Swim and why we’ve chosen to support The Body Happy.Org. This incredible charity works to promote body positivity and neutrality, particularly for children, in a world that can be challenging when it comes to self-image and self-acceptance.

As swim coaches, we see first-hand how body image affects our swimmers. Whether it’s stepping into a swimsuit, building confidence in the water, or embracing what their bodies can do, these experiences are a constant reminder of the importance of fostering positive attitudes toward ourselves and others. We open up about our own journeys with body image, the struggles, the growth, and why this mission feels so close to home.

The episode also includes discussion about child sexual abuse. These are important but sensitive topics, so please take care while listening.

Join us as we share our passion for this cause, how it connects to our swim coaching, and why swimming the English Channel is about more than just the challenge—it’s about making a difference.

Tue, 31 Dec 2024 11:29:07 GMT

This week, Terri and Allie dive into a festive recap of their Advent swims in the sea! From daily challenges to creative GPS art, we reflect on the ups, downs, and freezing fun of December.

We compare our "numbers," reveal your top-voted favorites from social media, and—drumroll, please—announce the winner! But of course, it wouldn’t be a Coastal Swim Cast without a little friendly competition and some hilariously dramatic reactions from the sore loser.

Listen in for plenty of banter, laughs, and behind-the-scenes stories about how we used our GPS watches to “draw” numbers in the water and how unpredictable conditions turned the swims into even more of an adventure.

Grab a warm drink, get cozy, and join us for a giggle-filled episode to close out the Advent season!

S1 Ep 33 - What i look like vs how it should feel when swimming?

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 06:00:09 GMT

It is so difficult when learning to swim to know if you are doing it right. This is often enhanced by watching other people swim and saying "I want to look like that!" Do you look like that when you swim, and how would you know? Well it's not about what you should look like, we talk about how to focus on what you are doing and feeling rather than "looking' right as the majority of the time you have no idea! Let us know your thoughts and this is a regular question we get asked to address!
