About the Founder
Danielle Spurling
Danielle has had a lifelong involvement in swimming, first as an Australian national age group medallist and Open national finalist in her youth, through to teaching and coaching swimming as a Physical Education Teacher and now as a passionate masters FINA top ten ranked pool swimmer, and open water enthusiast.
Torpedo Swimtalk was born during a long winter of Covid lockdown in Danielle’s native city of Melbourne, Australia in 2020. As she walked the streets of her neighbourhood listening to any swimming podcasts she could find, she realised she wanted to hear from masters athletes who are just as passionate and dedicated to their swimming as professional swimmers.
And that’s how the Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast started!
Many episodes later and with guests and listeners from right around the globe, Danielle is not only passionate about the podcast but about growing the whole masters swimming community in general.
“Torpedo Swimtalk aims to be your digital hub for everything you need to enhance your masters swimming.
Podcasts, news, blogs, training tips, pilates and dryland exercises, record updates, articles, the list goes on”, says Danielle.
“Join us at Torpedo Swimtalk and together we will be part of the wonderful community that is masters swimming”
