Swimming the length of Lake Zurich with Michael Helps
In this episode I share with you a swim I got half way through and proclaim to my boat crew “This is the day I learnt to swim for!”
Through a series of questions friends have asked me over the years I explore the What, How ,When, Why ,Who, Where, of swimming the length of the beautiful Lake Zurich through my personal experience of my favourite lake swim - My individual MYSWIM.
