Jason and Greg chat to Cath Pendleton,  otherwise known as the 'Merthyr Mermaid'. Cath was the first person to swim an ice mile inside the Antarctic polar circle in 2020.   An incredible ice /cold water swimmer who talks all about the sport, her challenges and how you could take your first plunge into cold water swimming.
PS: there are health benefits..honest
