Episode 35 sees the Clever Dicks chat with a true force in the world of open water swimming, Wellington’s very own Corrina Connor. She’s conquered the relentless currents of Foveaux Strait, battled the unpredictable Cook Strait, and taken on the vast, stunning Lake Taupō - completing New Zealand’s prestigious Triple Crown of Swimming. But Corrina is much more than just an endurance athlete—she’s also a musician, a librarian, and, as anyone who knows her will tell you, an absolute lady.
From the solitude of long-distance swims to the rhythm of music and the quiet wisdom of libraries, Corrina’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. So, grab a coffee, settle in, and let’s dive into the mind of a woman who thrives where others might falter.
