In the latest episode of Rising Tide Ocean Podcast, Natasha Benjamin and Vicki Nichols talk with marathon swimmer Catherine Breed — a record-breaking endurance athlete, former U.S. National Team swimmer, and founder of Sea Dreamers. From world-record swims between the Farallon Islands and the Golden Gate Bridge to crossings of Lake Tahoe and beyond, Catherine shares stories from a life shaped by the ocean and discusses her most ambitious challenge yet: swimming the entire California coast. The conversation explores open-water swimming, adventure, ocean conservation, and of course, everyone’s first question — what about the sharks? Tune in for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation with Catherine Breed.
