A Bondi life guard by the name of Quinn Darragh pushed his body to the absolute limit.

Quinn set off to swim 24 hours straight with no breaks in Bondi, completing over 700 metres per lap! This was all to raise funds for Ocean Heroes - a charity supporting neurodivergent children through surfing programs. 

Quinn joins Burty to explain more about this incredible effort.

New insights suggest a mix of social, technological, and lifestyle factors could be driving that shift. To unpack it all, Burty spoke with Associate Professor Vince Kelly from QUT.
