B5.9 Amy Ennion

About this episode

William Ellis interviews extraordinary swimmer Amy Ennion about her record-breaking swims and experiences in open water events.

(Episode available to subscribers only. Free to play at end of Season 5.) I chatted to this extraordinary swimmer back in 2024, after she had swam the 70km of Lake Geneva: breaking the British Record at the time. We also crewed together for Andrew Cornish’s Lake Geneva swim in September 2025 (Episode 6 of Season 5) and having her experience, nous and professionalism on the boat made all the difference to keeping Andy in the water. She has swam some superb swims as well, including The English Channel, Guernsey to France, Lake Windermere, SCAR and most recently Loch Ness… It’s of course Amy Ennion!
