„I’m often asked why I’m not afraid to swim in the sea, why I’m not intimidated by the creatures that call it home. Well, I suppose it’s because the sea is where I feel most at home, too. Nowhere else do I experience such freedom and connection to nature. The sea has given me purpose. When I first started swimming in open water, it stopped being just a sport. It became something much bigger, teaching me courage, strength, and endurance. Thanks to the sea, I dare to dream bigger. Surrounded by its incredible beauty, power, and diversity, I can truly quiet my mind and realize what’s most important in life: to embrace this one life we have and never give up on our dreams.“
