Marathon Swim Stories
Have you ever stood at the edge of a body of water and wondered what it would be like to swim to the other side? Stories from The Water is where we connect with curious and courageous individuals from all walks of life—some who took their first strokes as toddlers, others who discovered their passion midlife.
Through their stories, we explore our deep connection with water—what draws us in, what holds us back, and what keeps us going. Whether you're a seasoned swimmer, aspiring, or just intrigued by the water’s pull, these stories reveal powerful lessons about resilience, fear, and the pursuit of something greater—both in the water and in life.

Shannon Keegan's Marathon Swim Story
In this episode of Marathon Swim Stories, Elaine Howley interviewed me! It's easy to see why I prefer to be the interviewer as listen to myself struggle to find words and endure the play by play of my swimming history, and while the fear of messing up my kids is real, it isn't as paralyzing as it sounds when you listen to this!
My bio: I grew up frequenting neighborhood pools and found my way to year around swimming before I was 10, but it took another 25 years for me to discover the bliss of swimming in the great outdoors. I quickly caught the marathon swim bug and long to swim further.
In the last decade I've moved across the country and back again, married, brought two energetic boys into the world and taught them to swim. I can't wait to see if they are limit pushers like myself, and hope that they'll support me in my swims around the world as I encourage them to be kind, loving, curious, and empathetic in everything they endeavor.
When I'm not seeking the perfect organization method for LEGOs, drawing, coloring, or exploring with my boys, I love to empower others to swim efficiently and push their limits in the water @intrepidwater. http://intrepidwater.com
