Sink or Swim (UTS Impact Studios)

Angelica lives in Sydney, where sparkling beaches and aqua blue public pools are the backdrop to a swimming-crazy culture.  

But this image doesn't fit Angelica's reality. She never learned to swim as a child. She lives in a part of town that the cool sea breeze doesn’t reach and where swimming spots can be hard to find. 

In Sink or Swim, Angelica faces her fear of the water and the ever rising heat. Join her as she discovers why learning to swim in Sydney’s west opens the lid on what it means to live together in a warming world. 

Angelica Ojinnaka-Psillakis, a public health and social researcher, young carer, youth leader, and a second-generation migrant and proud Igbo woman.  Sink or Swim is a three-episode podcast series by Impact Studios at Impact Studios at the University of Technology Sydney, in partnership with The Paul Ramsay Foundation.
