Ben has outdone himself this time. Our intrepid podcast host has donned his wetsuit and gatecrashed the regular early morning river swim of a pod of Twyford mermaids.
Wait, one of them sounds familiar... it's the voice of Jules Lang, well known to listeners of BBC Radio 2 and Radio Berkshire. The broadcaster lives locally and is a dedicated open water swimmer.
After braving the water for a while, Ben catches up with Jules and friends to learn more about the appeal - and the dangers! - of open water swimming, why it has gained in popularity in recent years, and how the Berkshire Thames beats the London Thames hands down. One thing is clear: these types are determined to keep the exact location of their favourite swim spots a closely guarded secret!
Please help us support Jules in her challenge: this Sunday (26 June 2022) she is taking part for the second time in the Henley Classic, a 2.1km swim UPSTREAM over the course of the Henley Royal Regatta. She's helping to raise funds for Starlight UK, the national charity that facilitates play activities for seriously ill children in hospital and enables others to take part in a programme of events and experiences. Read her story and make a donation if you can, before or after the event: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jules-lang2.
