For Wellington māmā Heidi, sea swimming is a ritual. ‘It’s time out for me to stop being busy, and clear my head... I meditate, I pray, I talk to my son Clemente. I talk to him when I’m in the water. Because I started out using this as a coping mechanism when he was going through treatment, and then it became a coping mechanism for grief when he passed.’
