You’ll meet Lauren Tischendorf on Sparta Chicks Radio this week.
In 2021, Lauren because the first woman to swim around Lord Howe Island - a distance of 32.2km that she completed in 13 hours and 50 minutes. Lauren’s story is captured in an award-winning documentary called "I Just Went For a Swim”.
Lauren is a school teacher by day and an endurance athlete outside school hours.
An ultra-marathon runner, she started focusing on her ocean swimming about 5 years ago.
In that time, she’s become an accomplished ocean swimmer and is the reigning 5km ocean swimming champion of NSW.
And yet, an off-handed comment by another swimmer about the fact she couldn’t keep up with them prompted her to ask herself what she was capable of.
The result: a 32km swim around the shark-infested waters of Lord Howe Island.

Lucy Bloom is an award-winning leader, international keynote speaker, consultant and author.
Her website says that “she uses her superpowers for writing and speaking about courage, trust, failure, change, maverick thinking, generosity and fun” -- all of which makes her the perfect guest for Sparta Chicks Radio!
Lucy went from being a volunteer to the CEO and founding director of Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia (Australia) that raised funds to support the extraordinary work of Dr Catherine Hamlin to treat and prevent terrible childbirth injuries in Africa.
So she has a heart as big as the hot pink mohawk that she proudly rocks.
She is honest, funny and open and I knew she’d be the perfect guest, even before I read her brilliant memoir ‘Get The Girls Out’ (which I highly recommend).
In this conversation, we discuss confidence, change, scars, bouncing back from setbacks and why she doesn’t worry about what other people think.
