Caitlin O'Reilly (Ultra Swimming)

WOMENZSPORTS is excited to share our kōrero with Caitlin O'Reilly, the youngest person ever to swim the Ocean's Seven! Sports journalist and rugby player Alice Soper sits down with Caitlin to discuss all things ultra swimming. Caitlin talks about setting her first open-water record at age 12 and her journey to conquer the six remaining open-water channel swims. She opens up about not only what it takes physically to spend hours in the open water but also the mental game behind it. Plus, Caitlin shares the most beautiful thing she’s seen out in the ocean.
