On today's Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast we chat to open water marathon swimmer Jeff Miller, who lives, works and swim on the island of St.John in the US Virgin Islands. Our conversation dives into the heart of open water swimming, where Jeff's background in marine biology informs not only his strokes but also his profound respect for the aquatic life he encounters. Inspired by the beautiful waters of the Caribbean at his doorstep, Jeff has completed two marathon swims no one has ever accomplished before - the Sir Francis Drake Channel and a circumnavigation of St.John Island.  He shares the unique challenges and highlights of these adventures, illustrating the intricate blend of physical stamina and mental strategy required to conquer such a challenge. With no pools on St.John, Jeff does all his training in the ocean, detailing for us his  'swim hiking' around the island. His innovative techniques, from pre-placed hydration stations to adapting current models for navigation, offer a treasure trove of knowledge for anyone drawn to the call of the sea.
