I recently photographed marathon swimmer Dee Newell for a feature for The Outdoor Swimming Society to mark International Women's Day.

In 2019 Dee swam the English channel solo, she swam across the Irish Sea as part of a six person relay, and finished the year with a swim from Robben Island to Cape Town. In 2020, she completed an Ice Km swim in Antarctica.
