The Benefits of Risk-Taking

Risk taking implies a certain, I guess, carelessness. For me personally, it's really been this exploration of pushing boundaries. My mum has been on my support boat for many of my swims and people say, well, how can you have your mum there and you're swimming? And I like to say shark-inhabited waters because it's their house. But when, you know, you have these people in your lives that know that you don't want to live your life any other way...I think they outweigh the risks.
