The Wellbeing Hour The Merthyr Mermaid Mentality with Cath Pendleton

Online Event

29 January 2025, 12:00–13:00

Join us on the ‘Wellbeing Hour’ podcast with Cath Pendleton, “The Merthyr Mermaid,” a Guinness World Record-holding open water and ice swimmer from Wales. In February 2020, she became the first person to swim an ice mile inside the Antarctic Polar circle, a journey documented by the BBC. Discovering winter swimming in 2015 as a mental health strategy, Cath calls swimming her “Reset Button” and lives by the motto “To make Cath happy, just add cold water!” Her achievements include swimming the English Channel, winning bronze at the 2019 World Ice Swimming Championships, and becoming the first Welsh woman to complete an official Ice Mile. With 10 Ice Miles completed, Cath now enjoys freediving, mermaiding, and aspires to row the Atlantic before turning 60, inspiring others to embrace new challenges.
