Chloë is pushing the boundaries of marathon swimming and what the human mind and body can achieve. Described as the greatest ultra-marathon swimmer in history, an inspiration and role model, Chloë aims to achieve the impossible.
She has swum the notoriously difficult English Channel, 31 times.

The Channel Swimming Association has awarded Chloë 24 awards and plates for her English Channel achievements.
As well as being a World Record holding marathon swimmer, Chloë has, like many women around the world, experienced domestic violence by more than one partner in her lifetime. She has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Anxiety due to these experiences and is now an advocate for women’s mental health and ending domestic violence. Chloë has supported organizations like ‘White Ribbon Australia’ and ‘Free To Run’ that help women suffering from emotional trauma to combat violence against women and reduce domestic violence. Her lessons in surviving the physical and mental challenges of long-distance, open water swimming are an inspiration to others coping with their own battles and life struggles.
