Five years on – Felicity Passon reflects on her historic swim ‘Mind over matter’
Felicity Passon completed a grueling 15-kilometre swim challenge in April 2021 to raise funds and awareness on mental health.
She took 4 hours and 6 minutes to complete the feat, swimming from La Digue to Praslin and back again. The sum collected was more than R684,000.
Five years after her historic open-water swim, Passon is reflecting not just on the distance she covered, but on the purpose that carried her through the waves.
