Interview - Jaime Bowler - Busselton Jetty Swim ambassador

Jaime talks about what it takes to be an ambassador for Busselton Jetty Swim, what it means and how you do it.

My favourite quote of the episode is "I think that, engaging with the swimmers and the families, the participants down there, hopefully providing something positive to them and inspiring and motivating. And not everyone has the swim they wanna have. There are gonna be ups and downs and people who are disappointed about how they went, but it's also, you know what, we don't always have the race and swim we wanna do. So it's like, what are you gonna do with it? Do you know? Do you wanna just leave it there? Well, do we want to use it again? Doesn't mean this defines you. We can just choose more goals, and you learn from it. Say you got pushed under at the start and you couldn't get your bearing and then you fell off, whether. someone slower beat you. That's okay. That's okay. That's why I think some people get quite upset about that. And that's all part of the learning when we do these swimmings and our challenges. You can't just expect to have highs and good things all the time because otherwise it's not challenging. Yeah, it's not challenging if everything went perfect every time we did it. We need something hard and difficult so it makes you want to come back, makes you want to get fitter and stronger, makes you want to practice in the ocean more for next time. Because you learned the way you did it that way didn't work this year, so I'm going to try something different next year."
