    Feb 6 2026
    We are delighted to welcome back Olympic swimmer Andrew Bree for a deeper conversation focused on mental health and wellbeing. Having already shared his sporting journey with us in part one of the podcast, Andrew reflects on the personal challenges, lessons and growth that have shaped his understanding of mental health both during and beyond the pressures of elite sporting level environments. This episode is about honesty, resilience and why taking care of your brain matters just as much as taking care of your body. Andrew talks about his own depression, his coping mechanisms including cold water swimming and barefoot walking as well as his views on social media, sedentary adolescents and phone away boxes in secondary schools. Sit back (or exercise) and enjoy!
