As we ramp up to my swim across Lake Tahoe with Jamie Patrick, we interview one of the great adventure swimmers, Michelle Macy. Michelle has swum the English Channel twice, crossed the Cook Strait in New Zealand, and just swam the Strait of Gibralter.
You can view a list of her amazing swims here.
Michelle talks in detail about how to swim open water and what these amazing athletes know that most of us don't. For example; if you see a fin moving up and down, that belongs to a mammal. If it's moving side to side, it's a shark!
