Hello and welcome to Wild Wimmin the wild swimming podcast - I’m Laura Macdonald
Today I’m chatting with Roxanne Woolcot, an NHS nurse from Scarborough, North Yorkshire, who only took to the sea in March 2021. Since taking up sea swimming though she has built up a community swimming group of fellow NHS workers, which has become a vital support system for all the swimmers. We got ourselves a snug weezoom room back in October to discuss all things frontline working, big drum bangers, chub rub and the responsibility that comes from being the mama mermaid.
