Have you heard of a slip wall?
It’s exactly what it sounds like.
Picture those Saturday nights flicking through the channels until you land on Ninja Warrior.
Competitors are hurling themselves over climb walls, sprinting across spinning logs, and conquering monkey bars.
Then comes the slip wall—where participants grab a rope, scale up, and flip themselves over the top.
Sounds doable, right? But what if there was no rope?
This is where you need more than strength; you need a team.

Cue three incredible women who’ve taken on New Zealand’s ultimate obstacle course challenge together, proving that teamwork, resilience, and pure grit can get you over any wall—even an 8ft one.

I used to be rolling in from the club at 5 AM, grabbing a couple of hours’ sleep before work. Now, I’m up at 5 AM after a solid eight-hour slumber to… swim.

Why had I not done this sooner?

I could easily blame geography or weather.
I could say that I’ve denied myself this simple pleasure because I live in the UK, where it’s bloody freezing for most of the year, or point out that stumbling upon a rock pool in inner-city London is not just laughably impractical—it’s impossible.

Both are valid excuses, but they’re just that—excuses.

The truth is harder to admit. It’s not about the climate or the lack of natural swimming spots.

It’s my body. Or, more accurately, how I feel about my body.

In this personal essay, a writer explores how swimming has unexpectedly become a source of freedom and a way to silence her inner critic.
