2300 Heroes: 10 Inspiring Tales from the Rottnest Channel Swim this Year for You.

from Leading Your Best Life with Leigh Farnell · host Leigh Farnell

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?
