On The Outside

Text us your views -- we'll share some on the next episode

Co-hosts Oge Ejizu and Fran Turauskis bring you a new type of episode. We ask Omie Dale, Director of Swim Unity, about Drowning Prevention Week, her passion for teaching people to swim, and the video series on beginners swim tips on Instagram. Plus, we talk about levels of proficiency in swimming and hiking.

After the interview, Oge and Fran address the FINA ruling against trans women taking part in swimming competitions, and Fran rants about the types of questions usually asked in interviews. We hope you enjoy it!
