RAWW Podcast
Welcome to the Rad Active Waterwomen (RAWW) Podcast. I am Sarah Freeman, a life, swim coach. I guide women in the water and beyond!
This podcast is a space for 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 women who identify as women.
Waterwomen all have something in common: they love the water! Every guest has a story to share about 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 have also added something new, as of October 2025. I, "Sarah," will be doing short recordings between waterwomen guests to share my learnings from the water, and 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!
"Where dreams begin, and ripples never end!"

Sarah Pedley's Swim Journey – Confidence, Empowerment, and Making Waves in Open Water
What if swimming could be the key to unlocking your confidence and embracing your true self? Join us for a refreshing journey with Sarah Pedley (She/Her), an exceptional athlete and coach from British Columbia, as she reveals how her love for water sports has shaped her life and the lives of the women she coaches. As a head coach at Be Strong Training, she guides women through different life stages.
Sarah takes us through the dynamic and sometimes chaotic world of open-water swimming, drawing parallels to the environment of triathlons. Her insights into building trust and fostering connections while swimming in the picturesque lakes of British Columbia are both inspiring and heartwarming.
With Sarah, we explore the notion of swimming as an equalizer, where all body types can thrive, and discover the transformative power of self-confidence and body positivity. Her candid experiences with Rise swimsuits illustrate how stepping out of our comfort zones can lead to newfound strength and assurance.
Embrace the challenges and dreams of swimming alongside Sarah, as she shares her aspirations of qualifying for the Masters Swimming World Championships. Her role as a Lululemon ambassador and her ambitions, such as achieving a hundred-pound bench press, testify to her indomitable spirit.
Throughout our conversation, Sarah's heartfelt stories inspire us to face our fears and embrace our athletic identities. Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just starting, Sarah's journey offers a motivational boost to dive into the water and make your own waves.
PS: If you have kids around, we recommend throwing on some headphones, as there is some swearing in a couple of spots in this episode of RAWW Podcast.
Swimmingly,
Sarah Freeman
