Mindfulness can meet you in the water.

In this episode of Get Gritty With Me, you’ll learn how mindful swimming can turn an ordinary swim session into a powerful practice for presence, stress regulation, and resilience — literally one breath and one stroke at a time.

Swimming is one of the few places where life gets quiet — not because the world changes, but because your attention finally has one job: breathe, stroke, repeat.

This episode is a simple, practical practice designed for leaders, athletes, and high performers who don’t have time to “check out,” but need a way to reset that fits their life.

You’ll learn:

Why mindfulness isn’t about being calm — it’s about awareness
How rhythm and repetition support nervous system regulation
Why breath control brings you back to the present moment
How swimming can become a moving meditation
A step-by-step mindful swimming practice you can use in the pool or adapt to open water
Why the real skill isn’t perfect focus, but learning how to return

If you’re tired of living on autopilot…
If you want to feel more grounded without slowing your life down…
If you’re ready to turn movement into a resilience-building tool…

Press play 💚

This episode is your reminder that presence is a practice — and you can build it breath by breath, stroke by stroke.
