The Olympic Rower

It is International Women's Day and we are celebrating the achievements of a very special woman in today's Episode. Gwen asked all the important questions when she got the amazing opportunity to talk one-on-one with the incredibly lovely Polly Swann: World Champion, European Champion AND Olympic Medallist Rower!

Is it hard to get in and out of those little boats? Do you get very wet? And how did last week's Olympic Trials go?

You can follow the progress of Polly Swann and her team mates at British Rowing.org and find out more about the #choosetochallenge theme of this year's #IWD2021 at InternationalWomen'sDay.com.

Don't forget that Gwen is fundraising for some better equipment so that she can get out and about and interview adults like Polly at their places of work, even if that is in a boat, once it is safe to do so. Here is her Go Fund Me link - all donations most gratefully received.

Every week in the Gwen Gets To Work podcast, Gwen finds out about what a different adults does all day at work. Visit our website for past episodes and videos: https://gwengetstowork.com/
