RAWW Podcast
Welcome to the Rad Active Waterwomen (RAWW) Podcast. I am Sarah Freeman, I am a Waterwoman, life, and swim coach, and activist for women. I am building empowering communities for Waterwomen to connect, heal, and thrive as their authentic selves.
This podcast is a space of stories of Waterwomen around the globe sharing their journey as Waterwomen. Anywhere from swimmers, wild swimmers, surfers, sailors, free divers, open water swimmers, ice swimmers, women who like to dip their toes in the water, and Waterwomen with a disability or who are moving through an illness.
Waterwomen all have something in common, they love the water! Every guest has a story to share of their journey to who they are today. Some Waterwomen guests will have a cause behind their love for the water, some will have a healing journey to share, some will have a story of moving through fears, and so much more!
I can guarantee one thing! After listening to the RAWW Podcast you will want to be in, on, or around water.
There is something very special about the community of Waterwomen and I cannot wait to share their stories with you!

Building Community and Resilience Through Swimming with Robyn
Robyn's journey through the world of swimming is nothing short of inspiring. Once a "water baby," Robyn faced the challenge of a pediatric stroke at age 12. Her story unfolds in this episode, where she shares how the water has been both a healing force and a source of empowerment. As a competitive swimmer and coach, Robyn reflects on her evolution and how swimming has been a pivotal part of her life, from childhood memories to the ambitious goal of conquering Okanagan Lake.
Listeners will be captivated by Robyn's passion, not just for the sport, but for the community and joy it fosters. Her high school years taught her resilience, balancing training with academics, which she now channels into coaching young athletes. Robin's dedication extends beyond the pool; she's pursuing a fitness trainer diploma. Swimming is more than a sport for Robyn—it's a lifelong pursuit that offers personal growth, stress relief, and a strong sense of community.
Robyn's ambition knows no bounds. Her recent 25-kilometer swim at Christina Lake fuels her drive to set a Guinness World Record in June 2025. In the discussion, Robyn offers advice for young female swimmers facing burnout, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the journey and cherishing the memories made along the way. Her commitment to building a supportive and empowering community is a testament to her love for the sport and the connections it creates.
