Amazons: Beth French - Ocean Swimmer

British long distance swimmer Beth French, has broken multiple records around the world’s oceans and now in her early 40’s has found peace in those achievements and her personal journey. She is now channelling her adventurous spirit with her 11 year old son Dylan in remote areas of the world. Beth’s story takes her from being wheelchair bound due to ME from the age of 10 to 17 and finding her feet again she took her life in both hands to regain her strength through travel and studying natural health around the world. Immersing herself in water first as therapy and later as a physical and emotional challenge Beth set about breaking long distance swimming records including the Molokai Channel which took 24 hours and 10 mins.  She is the subject of a new documentary Against The Tides and is also featured in a new book Fantastic Female Adventurers: Truly amazing tales of women exploring the world by Lily Dyu.
