Alice Todd
In 2013, Alice had an ‘early life crisis’. Having spent years working in the media: for West End productions, 20th Century Fox and The Telegraph Media Group, she wanted to persue her passion for open water – and make her passion her work. Alice came across John Coningham-Rolls in 2013, and realised that with John’s experience running swimming holidays, and her experience working in media and marketing – they could create a fantastic swimming holiday offering
Open water has always been a passion, and Alice has always found as much time as possible to spend in pools, rivers, lakes and the sea – swimming, diving and freediving. When Alice is not guiding or planning tours, you’ll probably find her find her running around after young twin boys – and with any spare time (ha!) cycling, running, DJing, singing or painting.
As a child I used to run around splashing like mad in the Whitby waves for hours – regardless of the weather! I’ve never lost that sense of carefree adventure with open water; it still continues to surprise and delight and that’s why it’s so wonderful. It just makes people happy – whether that be in the bracing waves of the North Sea, the sparkling Mediterranean, the glossy English Lakes or the Serpentine.
