Pat Gallant-Charette is a 73-year-old record-breaking marathon swimmer with nine Guinness World Records under her belt. From swimming across the English Channel to navigating Lake Ontario and Lake Zurich, Pat has proven that age is no barrier to big dreams. When she’s not taking on epic swims, you’ll find her tending to her garden, beekeeping, or tapping her own maple trees.Connect with Pat: <a href="https://patgalant.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Website</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/gallantcharette/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>If you enjoyed this episode: Listen to <a href="https://www.rei.com/blog/podcasts/ice-swimming-with-melissa-kegler" target="_blank">Ice Swimming with Melissa Kegler</a>Thank you to our sponsors: Capital One: <a href="https://dashboard.simplecast.com/accounts/2b218f9f-84c0-42a2-980b-de1950c78d63/shows/32ddc983-385c-47d5-ac70-165c3c8c5922/episodes/48dcf2dc-e56c-400c-970f-e5e2a234031a/REI.com/mastercard-podcast" target="_blank">Check out the REI Co-op Mastercard program</a> and learn about <a href="https://www.reifund.org/grantees" target="_blank">local REI Fund grantees</a><a href="https://www.rei.com/b/danner/c/all" target="_blank">Danner</a>Listen to <a href="https://www.rei.com/blog/podcasts/camp-monsters" target="_blank">REI’s Camp Monsters Podcast</a>!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
