We are a small team with a wide range of skills and experience. We love what we do, and we do it with passion. We look forward to swimrunning with you.
Vini V.
Founder
Vini started swimrunning in 2019, stepping in to do Breca Gower only three weeks before the race as someone was injured and couldn’t race. He’s the driving force behind the club, wanting to get as many people involved in the sport as he can. Fun fact, he literally appears to know everyone when you run along the prom with him.
Söuthsea Swimrun Leaders
Swimrun is not just about swimming and running, we also have awesome volunteers that help us keep moving forward. A few members have decided to help the club by becoming leaders. Leaders are your point of contact during sessions, and their role is to make sure everyone is having a great time in safe conditions.
Sarah King
Swimrun Leader
Sarah started swimrunning in 2018, and she went big, racing the long course at Breca Gower and finishing as part of the 2nd women’s team. Since then, Sarah has raced throughout the UK and abroad, enjoying swimrun challenges in glorious locations like the Scilly Islands, the south of France, northern Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland. She’s always keen to talk swimrun and has also appeared on the Löw Tide Böyz and The Swimrun Show podcasts.
You can read about some of her swimrun experiences in the Race Reports section.
Adrian F.
Swimrun Leader
Adrian got into multi-sport in 2018 when he did his first Olympic distance Triathlon and started swimrunning with SoS in 2020 after hearing about the sport on the Feel Better Live More podcast.
Adrian has completed multiple swimrun events to date and says the best thing is the excitement and adventure of getting outdoors and going a bit wild in fantastic landscapes. He is now looking forward to multiple Marathon distance swimrun events this year
You can find out more about him and his first race in his race report.
Chris
Swimrun Leader
Chris is our most dedicated leader, taking members to the next level with his Wednesday interval running sessions. Join Chris and others by the D-Day museum at 6PM. In the summer months he might also be keen to add a swim/dip in the sea after the session, so come prepared. He can also occasionally be seen in the sea at crazy hours (at night) or battling big waves.
