Carolyn’s Journey to Derwent

Since were nestling in for winter here in the Northern hemisphere, trekking to the swimming pool in the dark, perhaps mustering the fortitude for a dip in chilly waters, I thought it would be fun to follow a journey on the other side of the world where they are getting ready for summer.

We met Carolyn Anderson a few weeks ago – a mom and band teacher in Australia, she completed Rottnest in 2020 and has decided to tackle her fears of the cold water in her first solo marathon swim.

I hope you enjoy the 3 parts series of Carolyn’s Journey to swim the 34km down the Derwent River, listed as one of the “Toughest Thirteen” by the Marathon Swimmers Federation.

Enjoy!
