Picture this: a gang of Abersoch Dunkers — otherwise sensible humans — decide to swim from West Island (yes, the Bear Grylls’ one) all the way back to our beloved beach huts on Main Beach. That’s right — an open water challenge across tides, jellyfish, and questionable decisions.
Why?...Blame Andy Teague; he inspired (cajoled) a crew of brave souls into doing it. And DunkersPodcast...well we’re celebrating this awesome feat and the first of our 'Dunkers Special's' with bells, whistles, and a podcast full of soggy glory.
Today, Andy, Vanessa, Matt (it's always more fun to say Yes Matt) and Emma joined me to tell us how it started, what they faced out there in the deep, both swimming and in a vital support role and, most importantly, why on earth they did it in the first place?!
This one is about community, courage, cold water, and comedy all personified by the indomitable, irresistible, and slightly waterlogged Abersoch Island Swimmers.
