Open Water and LifesavingTeam Speedo Athlete - Sasha Corris
Sasha is a South African open water swimmer and lifesaver from Durban. She has been selected for the 2022 South African Lifesaving World Championship Team.
What are some of your most memorable moments or achievements?
One of my most memorable moments or achievements was winning the 2023 Lifesaver of the Year award. Additionally, winning the title of Competitor of the Competition in both the pool and ocean at SA Lifesaving Nationals, very few athletes have achieved this. Another proud moment was being the only SA swimmer attending three consecutive Junior World Champs.
What are some of your top tips?
Swimming is a very unnatural sport; we walk around daily but we don't swim around everywhere we move. So, my top tip to getting the feel for the water is spending as much time in the water as possible! As Dory says, "Just keep swimming".
Apart from swimming, what do you do for fun?
I love the beach, sure this involves a little bit of swimming, but it's a nice breather from the swimming pool. I'm also a business major so all things research and furthering my knowledge are always fun, I've started a few passion projects and businesses.
What is your favourite Speedo product and why?
The Fastskin Speedsocket 2 Mirror Goggle! I've been wearing them since I was 10 years old and they are my go-to! Whether I'm training or racing, in the pool, dam or ocean, you'll be sure to see me wearing one of my numerous pairs of Speedosockets.
