You’ll meet Lauren Tischendorf on Sparta Chicks Radio this week.
In 2021, Lauren because the first woman to swim around Lord Howe Island - a distance of 32.2km that she completed in 13 hours and 50 minutes. Lauren’s story is captured in an award-winning documentary called "I Just Went For a Swim”.
Lauren is a school teacher by day and an endurance athlete outside school hours.
An ultra-marathon runner, she started focusing on her ocean swimming about 5 years ago.
In that time, she’s become an accomplished ocean swimmer and is the reigning 5km ocean swimming champion of NSW.
And yet, an off-handed comment by another swimmer about the fact she couldn’t keep up with them prompted her to ask herself what she was capable of.
The result: a 32km swim around the shark-infested waters of Lord Howe Island.
