Glenn Taylor: Lake Argyle, Risk Management and Creating a World‑Class Open Water Swim

from The Science and Art of Open Water Swimming · host Grant Landers

In this episode, I speak with Glenn Taylor, race director of the Lake Argyle Swim, about what it takes to create and safely deliver one of Australia’s most unique open water events. They explore freshwater swimming, reduced buoyancy, big‑lake conditions, risk management, and why Lake Argyle can behave more like an inland sea than a typical lake.   For more information on the Lake Argyle Swim visit: www.lakeargyleswim.com   And for more events hosted by Glenn in the Kimberly region of Western Australia, check out this site: www.fitevents.com.au    This interview was recorded on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar, with our guest joining from Miriwoong Country in the East Kimberley. I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of these lands and water and pay my respects to Elders past and present
