This week on Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast we have Miami marathon swimmer Christine Coppola as our guest. We explore her dedicated open water marathon swimming journey, delving into her training routine and experiences with local swim squads in Miami. Christine shares insights into transitioning from pool to ocean swimming with her weekly sessions in both environments. We discuss Christine's 20 Bridges Swim around Manhattan, a 48km endurance challenge, detailing her strategies and mental resilience for navigating open waters.  What happens when you have a loss of confidence halfway through such an epic swim? Hear how Christine overcame her own self doubt to refocus during the swim. She also shares her preparations for her upcoming the Catalina Channel swim. From Fort Lauderdale's Hall of Fame pool to dreaming of swimming in Bondi Beach's Icebergs Pool, her passion for the sport is evident. Join us for a deep dive into Christine's swimming journey, bound to leave a lasting impact on your imagination and perhaps inspire your own aquatic pursuits.
