Epic Bill’s Swim Story

Hello Listeners!

Spring is springing in Southern Oregon. I’m realizing just how little I’ve been getting outside. Does that happen to you in the cold, dark winter months? I’m looking forward to getting back to some walking and hiking this spring. What do you do on dryland to support yourself in pursuit of your swimming goals?

Join me at The Water’s Edge, my virtual community, where we support each other on this path – whatever you’re endeavoring.

I’m thrilled to bring you a conversation today with Bill Bradley, better known as ‘Epic Bill’ in the documentary of his life: Epic Bill | PBS

While Bill is known for his extraordinary feats in various land based endurance challenges. In this episode, we dig into Bill’s interest in the tackling the open water. Never one to back down from a challenge, I hope his story will inspire and motivate you to push past your limits, no matter what obstacles stand in your way.

I hope you enjoy Bill’s story!

In his own words:

Bill Bradley is a former entrepreneur who built a successful chain of video stores before losing everything and reinventing himself as an extreme endurance athlete.

He has taken on some of the toughest challenges on the planet, including eight attempts at Arrowhead 135, five English Channel attempts, a Quadruple Badwater, and setting a world record for seven consecutive rim-to-rim crossings of the Grand Canyon.

He’s been the subject of four documentaries and featured in CNN, Sirius XM, and Men’s Health. Currently he is training for his sixth attempt at swimming the English Channel.
