Joanna Dale
Joanna was a club pool swimmer when she was younger, but growing up in Devon also meant she developed a huge connection with the outdoors and spent countless hours playing in the sea and surfing with friends.
When Joanna moved to London in 2011 to train as a solicitor she quickly discovered the Serpentine Swimming Club for her daily swimming fix, and it is where her open water swimming adventures accelerated. In 2015 Joanna was part of a relay team that swam the English Channel, and in 2016 she was part of a four person relay who swam the 70km length of Lake Geneva. Joanna has also completed numerous solo 10km swim events, an Ironman triathlon and Swim the Night 24km!
“I’ll happily say I’m obsessed with swimming – being able to glide through water, whether an ocean, lake, river or even pool, is my freedom. The colours of open water, from liquid turquoise to the deepest of blue silk, is an incomparable beauty that can capture your heart and soul in just one stroke.”
