In this episode, my guest is Laurent Méret.
Met via Didier and the circle of swimmers of La Ciotat, I was intrigued by the organization of the "full moon swim". Swimming during the full moon, at night - and winter as well as summer?
In the world of ice swimming, Laurent is a key figure. Participating in the world and French championships, he pushed the limits of endurance by taking on the icy challenge of the 1000m – and he tells us all about it. But that's not all, Laurent is also known for his exploits over very long distances.
This water "crazy" lives in Marseille, loves jellyfish stings and likes to take pictures, underwater of course. Always accessible, Laurent shares his passion with many other swimmers in the region.
