Swimming the English Channel (La Manche) with Claire Brumby

The Joy of Swimming

In this inspirational and exciting episode Pat Kelman is joined by Business Coach and cross-channel swimmer Claire Brumby. During a far-ranging conversation they talk about confidence, breaking out of comfort zones, swimming in a relay team from Dover to Calais, and Pat comes to terms with allowing listeners to hear more of "him" in the conversations.

We also hear a letter from a listener in Minnesota and our Review of the Week.
