RYAN STRAMROOD |COUCH POTATO TO WORLD RECORD BREAKER | ICE WATER SWIMMER

INSPIRATIONAL INTERVIEWS - A podcast by Jen Rodd

He was a couch potato, and one day he joined a swimming squad, for no reason other than a friends suggestion. Before he knew it, Ryan Stramrood was swimming from the famous Robben Island, to Cape Town's main land. Within a just a couple of months of joining the squad. Little did he know then he would be swimming from Europe to Africa, Alcatraz Island to Main land San Fransisco, the Serbian Lakes at 0.1 Degrees, Antartica at -1Degrees for 32 minutes breaking records! Taiwan to China. The list goes on and on and on. To date Ryan has swam from Robben Island to Cape Town's main land 109 times! As you all know, the purpose of the show is not to lay out fact by fact, but with the facts, to draw on the strength and essence of human beings who are following a truth, answering to a calling, and connecting with their heart. In my experience of listening to many life stories, this is never an easy path, it's challenging. Sometimes, if not often, it's hard on the body and mind, so much so that only the heart / mind over matter "stuff"can source the strength to muscle through. Following a dream is never easy! Listen to this beautiful and inspiring story of South African born and based, International, record breaking open water, ice cold swimmer, Ryan Stramrood. He found his love and passion by just saying yes to joining a swimming squad one day. What is his life story, how does this kind of life actually look like, Ryan is also a business owner and a Motivational Speaker? How can you be all these things and still find the time to swim from Europe to Africa! So often doors open for us and when we just say yes, miracles, and beautiful life changing events happen where we least expect it.
