WILD Celebrations for Women in Swimrun: A Throwback to ÖTILLÖ Hvar 2019 💦
As we take a walk down memory lane, we want to highlight two amazing women in the Swimrun community: Fanny and Desiree! 💙
@fannyfromswe
@desireedessi
The first photo captures them at the start line, brimming with positive energy and determination. Both wore the prestigious "golden bib"— do you know what that meant? *
What do you think their final results from @ötillörace Hvar 2019 were? Check out the second image for a hint!
Fanny and Desiree have both been instrumental in evolving and growing the sport of Swimrun. Fanny is a founder of WILD Swimrun and has helped many women enter the sport (WILD est. 2018). She still help our WILDies and e.g. generously supported our Ascent group with training plans. And Desiree continues to be, a huge inspiration for many as she pushes the limits of what is possible within Swimrun. She has broken course records in both the female and mixed categories. And maybe she nowadays also have the records for most wins?
Let’s celebrate the inspiring women in our sport together! Help us send a WILD shout-out to Fanny and Desiree by commenting below!
*The Golden BIB was worn by a team if they had won all ÖTILLÖ races that season.

Thank you NDR Doku for creating a great documentary about two teams preparing for and racing the ÖTILLÖ Swimrun World championship 2025.
One of these teams is Team WILD Sjölejon, and we are incredibly proud of Josefine and Lena, who represent WILD Swimrun with honor and inspire women to embrace the thrill of swimrunning. Their dedication and passion remind us all to dream big and chase those dreams fearlessly.
Whether you're a seasoned swimrunner or just starting out, this film by NDR will give you insights. It offers a glimpse into their intense training, challenges and thoughts going into WC and you get to follow them along the race. Join us in celebrating the journey of two teams and get ready to be inspired by @exdurance_coaching @jothiesmeyer @josefinejangvert @lenasjokvisten

The WILD Ascent Program is in full swing, and it’s time to share the incredible progress and some behind-the-scenes work 💦
When we launched the program in North America, the response was overwhelming – over 70 women signed up! Just three months in, we’ve built a strong, engaged community of 40 active participants, all working to bring more women into swimrun. 🌐
Since June, 20 new swimrunners from WILD Ascent program have competed in four @otilloraceusa events — Whistler, Casco, Orcas, and Mackinac — with more preparing for Colorado and Austin this fall. One of our teams is even aiming for the 2026 World Championship in Stockholm, Sweden.
Through monthly calls, free coaching plans, mentorship, gear support, and exclusive race discounts, WILD Ascent is here to support women at every stage of their swimrun journey. Our newsletters regularly provide tips on everything from swimrun basics to race strategies, keeping the community informed, inspired, and race-ready.
A huge thank you to our North America based program managers, Trista and Sarah, whose dedication and passion are key to the program’s success. We’re also deeply grateful to the 10 experienced female swimrunners who serve as mentors – generously donating gear, sharing their knowledge, and supporting participants every step of the way.
Thank you 💙
Let´s keep growing the number of women in Swimrun 🔼
Stay WILD – We Inspire Live Dream 💦
