Just Keep Swimming ft. Cassidy Bayer
05/22/23 • 26 min
Trigger Warning: This episode contains content about eating disorders and suicide.
This week I take a trip down memory lane and take a dive back into the waters of various pools of Northern Virginia. Growing up Cassidy Bayer was a local legend in swimming after almost qualifying for the Olympics in 2016 at the age of 16. But right now she's out of the water and living life as a regular recent college graduate from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, with her BA in Communications with minors in Journalism and Electronic Media. But her story isn't regular--it's remarkable.
