Swimming Across Oceans from a Country Pool

Peta Bradley, training 18km sessions in a remote Aussie pool, is preparing for the grueling 45km “20 Bridges Swim” around Manhattan — a Triple Crown challenge she’s tackling solo with just a kayaker and support boat. Despite the 16,000km distance, locals in Gulargambone cheer her on, even joining her in chaotic “thrashing” swims. Her journey began during pandemic pool closures, leading to Channel swims and ice championships. Remote coach Mike Gregory knows the risks — pollution, cold, distance — but Peta’s undeterred, even comparing NYC’s Hudson to her own farm dams. For her, it’s not just endurance — it’s a privilege to push limits, one thousand five hundred-meter lap at a time. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
