Part 3/11:
Many team members share that swimming is not merely a sport but a vital part of their lives. For example, a 54-year-old banker turned swimmer credits swimming with improving his health after years of back pain and limited mobility. He returned to competitive swimming after a long hiatus, recognizing that water-bound exercise is zero impact and highly beneficial for overall fitness.
Others mention that swimming, despite being often perceived as boring, provides discipline, purpose, and mental clarity. This sense of purpose culminated in their ambitious goal to confront the formidable challenge of crossing the English Channel.
