Our guest on What A Woman Podcast today is the highly accomplished open water swimmer, adventurer and Guinness World Record holder, Nuala Moore. We talk about:
- being the first swimmer in the world to swim a mile in the most dangerous convergence of oceans through the Drake Passage
- how she survives the cold after being the first Irish swimmer to swim 1000 metres at zero degrees (and the third woman in the world to do so!)
- Taking part in the most dangerous open water relay swim in the world across the Bering Strait
- Being part of the only team in history to circumnavigate Ireland by swimming and how on earth they did it!
- Holding her nerve during a shark experiment and looking a shark in the eye!
- Growing up in a fishing family and the benefits of being able to take risks as a young child
Nuala is also a professional scuba diving instructor, an educator, mentor, coach, event organiser, motivational speaker and author of the amazing book which documents all these adventures called 'Limitless'. It is an astonishing account of her adventures and her phenomenal achievements.
