Show Notes
Swimming has been Cate Campbell’s life since she was a young girl. So what happened when the four-time Olympian took a break from the sport? Well, it’s meant that she’s had time to speak up about important health issues, like period management and the nerve damage she endured from having a contraceptive implant removed. But having a break also allowed Cate to reignite her passion for swimming with her goal now to compete in her fifth Olympics.
In this chat, the Avène skincare ambassador talks about her melanoma diagnosis and how getting her skin checked saved her life (and hopefully this is a reminder to get yours checked too!), she also chats about the impact of taking a break from sport, her ill-fated attempt at falling in love with running, and why her mantra is “be brave”.
