BOSTON, HERE WE COME! 🇺🇸❄️

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be returning to Beyond the Breakers, the open water swimming conference at Bentley University in Boston!

Last year, I had the opportunity to share my personal journey, from discovering swimming as an adult to becoming a world champion and taking on some of the world’s toughest open water challenges.

This year, I’ll be back on stage with a different topic: COLD ADAPTATION. 🥶

What happens to our bodies when we immerse ourselves in cold water? How does the body adapt? Can we train our ability to handle extreme temperatures? And what can years of ice swimming teach us about the incredible capabilities of the human body?

I’ll be sharing my personal experiences, practical insights and lessons learned from years of pushing my limits in cold water.

But that’s just one part of what makes Beyond the Breakers special. It’s an opportunity to connect with an amazing community of open water swimmers, coaches, explorers and experts from around the world.

Whether you’re an experienced marathon swimmer, a cold-water enthusiast or simply passionate about open water, there’s something here for you.

Come be part of it! Join us in Boston, learn, connect and get inspired.

🎟️ Registration is still open! Check the organizer’s profile for all the details and secure your spot.

Can’t wait to see you there! 🌊

Dan Simonelli has a list of people he can't wait to hear at Beyond The Breakers.

Rowdy Gaines is at the top of it. Dan has followed him through the Olympics for years and always wondered who this guy was, and now he gets to meet him.

Then there's Sarah Thomas- Open Water Marathon Swimmer . Their friendship started over swimming and continues to grow as a result of our sport! The same thing happened with Elaine Kornbau Howley and her swimming. Dan says he's really looking forward to seeing them both and hearing what they have to say.

Everybody who walks into this summit has a list like that, whether they say it out loud or not. It might be someone whose swims you've followed, or someone who talked you through a hard decision once. Now they're all going to be at BTB 2026.

We're just over two weeks out from November 14 and 15. The link below is where you grab a ticket and find out who's on your list.

Some people come to open water swimming chasing a record. A lot more of them come because somebody dragged them down to the water one morning and they never wanted to leave.

Somewhere along the way it stops being something you do and turns into the people you do it with. Dan Simonelli has been around this sport long enough to know that, and he's right that Beyond The Breakers is an on-ramp for anybody who wants to be closer to it.

Maybe you've got years of cold, rough water behind you. Maybe you're not sure you belong yet, or you're the one in the boat holding the feed bottle, or you're on the beach watching someone you love do something that makes no sense to anyone else. We built this for all of you, and we want you to have a good time while you're here, because that rubs off. People walk out of this weekend wanting more of it.

It isn't only about what you learn from the stage. It's about who you end up standing next to when the speaker finishes and the conversations keep going.

We're just over two weeks out from November 14 and 15. The link is below is where you grab a ticket and come find the fun with us.
