The Magic of Water, the 33.3 Series and Ultras with Amy Swims

In this episode, Dave is joined by Amy Ennion — better known to many as Amy Swims — to explore the world of open water swimming and the powerful personal journey that has shaped her relationship with it. What starts as a chat about Amy’s shift from pool swimming to ultra-marathon challenges quickly turns into a tale of resilience, discovery, and a deep emotional bond with the water. Amy shares her recent experiences of the 33.3 series in Montenegro, what it is like being the 10th person in history to swim Lake Geneva (a 72km swim), and what Loch Ness swim means to her. Amy shares her training routines, the meditative aspects of swimming, and her fundraising efforts for bowel cancer in memory of her father. The conversation also touches on the supportive swimming community and the unique experiences of swimming in beautiful surroundings.
