"Laura Owen Sanderson calls herself a “waterlogger”, a wild swimmer, an adventurist, environmentalist, artist, company director and a mum.She also happens to be the woman Bangor University have asked to help collect water samples from the UK’s national parks in order to test for the presence of micro-plastics.Combining open water swimming with environmental research and campaigning feels like a natural fit for someone who took to the water as a form of therapy following her own personal biological disaster.Laura – who is a speaker at this year’s Kendal Mountain festival (Nov 19-29) - was in a senior position in teacher training in Llandudno before becoming ill and turning to swimming."
