An Engaging Conversation with Trent Grimsey and Chloe McCardel on Marathon Swimming

Chloe: Hey Trent! It’s been a while. How’ve you been keeping up with the waves?

Trent: Hey, Chloe! I’ve been good, just enjoying the water and keeping that swimmer’s tan in check. How about you? Are you still breaking records left and right?

Chloe: Haha, you know it! Just trying to keep up with the likes of you. Speaking of, I was thinking about our Channel swims. The English Channel really gave us both some hair-raising adventures, didn’t it?

Trent: Oh, absolutely. The Channel is no joke. Remember that time you swam through a school of jellyfish? I still get goosebumps thinking about it!

Chloe: Ugh, don’t remind me! But in the end, it was worth it. You set that record crossing in just under six hours. That’s insane! What was going through your mind during that swim?

Trent: To be honest, mostly “Just keep swimming.” Luckily, without a Dory impression. But yeah, it was all about the mental game. Pushing through the pain and staying focused. How do you keep your head in the game during those marathon sessions?

Chloe: It’s all about visualization for me. I picture myself reaching the shore, feeling the sand beneath my feet. It helps me stay motivated. Plus, there’s something surreal about knowing you’re carving your name into history with each stroke.

Trent: I totally get that. Visualizing the finish line can be a powerful motivator. By the way, the open water community must be one of the most supportive out there, don’t you think?

Chloe: Absolutely, it’s like one big, wet family. Sharing tips, training together, celebrating each other’s successes – it’s a unique bond. What’s one tip you’d give to aspiring marathon swimmers?

Trent: I’d say, don’t underestimate the importance of your crew. Your team’s support can make or break your swim. Surround yourself with people who understand your goals and believe in you. And what about you, Chloe? What’s your golden nugget of wisdom?

Chloe: Hydration, hydration, hydration! Seriously, you can’t get through those long swims without proper hydration and nutrition. And of course, never lose sight of why you fell in love with swimming in the first place. That passion will carry you through the toughest times.

Trent: Couldn’t agree more. Here’s to many more epic swims and breaking barriers. Cheers, Chloe!

Chloe: Cheers, Trent! Let’s keep inspiring the next generation of swimmers. See you on the water!
