About 'The Endurance Swimmer'

First and foremost, as you may have guessed I'm a cave diving addict who also dabbles in a bit of freediving and other adventure sports as they present. My interest in videography and writing has led to me being able to share my experiences with others and I'm hoping to continue with this extensively in the future with many more ambitious projects in the pipeline. As the website name may suggest, I had a background in open water distance swimming and that's led me to embrace most things of an aquatic nature. A couple of years ago I returned to this in order to do some solo challenges and recently my interest in endurance sports has focused also seen me getting involved in cycling, with a focus on hill climbing. Whether it's cave diving, freediving, endurance swimming, cycling or some other activity I don't know exactly what the future has in store. I like my life being an adventure.
