Meet Lorraine Candy: mum, journalist, editor, author, podcaster and swimmer

In our recorded Virtual Event Q&A, hear how Lorraine learned front crawl at the age of 47, and and how swimming helped her cope with the challenges of mid-life and menopause

After learning front crawl in her late 40s, Lorraine Candy took on a series of open water swimming challenges including a 6-person relay of Lake Geneva, the Bantham Swoosh and, most recently, the Scilly Swim Challenge (which you can read about in the October issue of Outdoor Swimmer).

As well as satisfying her quest for adventure, she finds open water swimming has helped her cope with the challenges of mid-life and menopause.
