‘Against the Tides’ is a documentary film abou ‘Against the Tides’ is a documentary film about channel swimmer Beth French and her ambitious goal to complete oceans seven, a series of the most dangerous channel swims around the world. Completing oceans seven is an incredible achievement in itself, but no swimmer has ever done so in a year. French’s goal is to be the first. But the physical challenge is not the only one present in Against the Tides, which is an empowering film with an overarching theme of being true to yourself and listening to your body. Our @deakinuniversity intern, Georgia Dunne interviewed French for #SirenSport. Link in bio.

And when you get to the bottom, and you know that you’ve had a good run, and you’re like, ‘Oh my God I did that. That was me. We just pushed something that is stupidly heavy off a cliff and I just drove that thing down, and in that time, and everyone should have died and we didn’t’. And that’s awesome.”
