How I train: Team Mermaids

Open water swimmers Katie Kenny and Manda Read juggle jobs, families and busy lives but still manage to fit in training for their epic swims

Which of your swims has been the hardest and why?

Our favourite long swim has to be Lake Zurich which we swam across as part of a relay in 2013. While this was a tough swim the fact that we worked together to train and motivate each other made it so much easier.
