Description

Clinton and Kelly are joined by David Tonge, a coach, swimmer and triathlete from Cardiff, Wales.  In 2021 he crushed a world record by swimming 24 hours in an endless pool, swimming all 55km in a full wetsuit.


We discuss the preparation, nutrition and mental grit needed to swim a full 24 hours.  David raised ten thousand pounds for Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff.  


David runs an endless swimming pool training center, Heathwood Swimming, where he trains elite as well as entry level swimmers. 


Find out what he's up to on Instagram @davetongeswim and @heathwoodswimming.
