Cape Town Open Water Swim Co.

I had the privilege of sitting down with one of our powerhouse members Calli Swims, who shared her recent experience of swimming the iconic English Channel.

From a 3am wake up and thunderstorms as she entered the water, to a soul-testing end to the swim, Calli showed courage and tenacity from start to finish.

One of my favourite things is hearing about the journey that swimmers experience leading up to a goal swim, as this is almost always where the magic happens.

Yes - it's great to achieve the goal - but it's the person that you become along the way, and the people that you share the experience with that truly matters.

This amazing woman went from entering open water for the first time to completing a Robben Island crossing, all in one season!

It's incredible what can be achieved if you have the fire in your heart and the determination to get there 🔥

I am inspired every day by the courage shown in this community.
Whether you are stepping into the ocean for the first time, or taking on the challenge of a big swim goal, stretching beyond your comfort zone is the bravest and most rewarding thing you can do.

Show yourself what you're capable of.
Dare to dream big.
