Caitlyn O'Reily's Swim Story

Send us a textIn this 2025 Year in Review, I reflect on the lessons swimming continues to teach me—about trust, awareness, and moving through uncertainty with more ease.Drawing from open water swims, coaching experiences, and everyday moments, this episode explores how the water becomes a teacher when we slow down enough to listen. Rather than focusing on outcomes or performance, it’s a reflection on process, patience, and what shifts beneath the surface over time.Whether you swim for fitness, adventure, or personal growth, this episode invites you to look back on your own year with curiosity—and carry what matters forward.Subscribe to my Substack for more Lessons from the Water and join me at The Water's Edge!Want to watch?
