Gugs Mhlungu speaks with Karen Kennedy, elite cold-water endurance open-water swimmer and co-owner and head coach of Oceanfit Cape Town, about her remarkable quadruple crossing of Robben Island.

She shares insights into how she prepares for such extreme challenges, and reflects on using this milestone, achieved as she turns 60, to inspire older women to chase ambitions they may have put on hold.
