#418 How Emma Igelström is Helping to Transform Swimming in Saudi Arabia

Emma Igelström never expected to find herself in Saudi Arabia, pioneering swimming programs in a country where female competition only began three years ago.

“I went into those clubs, I saw the pool is empty. I mean, there was no people in the pool. And for me, coming from Sweden, I mean, we have a lack of facilities. We’re fighting for having, you know, times in the pool, more lanes and everything. That was like, you know, a dream.”

Now, she’s on a mission to change that.
