Hi everyone and welcome to Episode 12 of the Do3 Podcast. In this podcast we talk to Melanie Barratt. Melanie is an incredible swimmer who has won golds at two Paralympic games, multiple world championships and just about everything else there is to win in the world of elite swimming. She has also just swum the english channel. Oh, I forgot to mention, she is blind! Yep, Melanie has just become the first blind athlete to swim the channel.
