Caitlin O’Reilly
YOUNGEST FEMALE TO SWIM COOK STRAIT & ACROSS LAKE TAUPO NOW SET TO TAKE ON
FOVEAUX STRAIT
Due to CoVID-19 & restrictions on overseas travel - This years planned attempts at crossing the Catalina Channel & Tsugaru Strait have been postponed.
I love the feeling of being free in the ocean and pushing myself to my limit. One stroke at a time propelling me through the water. Sometimes I think about what is lurking below me but mostly I lose myself in my thoughts and get in the zone. Not finishing the challenge is not an option, completing the challenge is everything.
Record breaking swimmers like Kimberley Chambers, Sarah Thomas & Philip Rush are my inspiration to take on Oceans 7 that some would say are the world’s 7 most extreme swims.
