MOESHA JOHNSON

Moesha is one of the rising stars of open water marathon swimming. Two events at the Paris 2024 Olympics, plus medals at the World Championships has fuelled the fast-rising country girl to the top of her game.

Moesha has spent the last two years, committed to the cause of training to be the best in the world. As part of that, she has left her home in the Tweed River, and headed across the world to Germany to train with a world-leading squad. That squad filled multiple spots in the Olympic final of the 1500m in Paris, and had two spots on the podium after the Marathon Swim, including Moesha.

Despite her relative inexperience, Moesha has shown that she has the temperament and tactics to race at the top level, which she showed off for the world to see during the Olympics, taking the race by the scruff of the neck, leading it out and showing a mastery of the tricky currents in the Seine.

MOESHA'S PRESENT

Moesha has been a world class marathon swimmer for the last 18 months, since she went across to Germany. This has been reflected with three podium finishes at major events across the 2023 and 2024 World Championships, and the 2024 Olympics. For now, Moesha continues to have ambitions of being on the top step of the podium at those events, and will continue to target those races.

LOOKING FORWARD

Moesha's lived experience, living and training in Germany has filled her with insight and knowledge that is not shared by many Australian swimmers, and even fewer Australian marathon swimmers. There are opportunities for partners to can help with bringing back and sharing that knowledge to grow the depth of Australian marathon swimming.

PARTNER WITH MOESHA

Moesha is looking for partners who can help her continue to grow and aspire to the top level. Alongside performance partners, Moesha is passionate about ocean sustainability and the environment - unsurprising for someone who spends lots of time in the water. Partnering with organisations that share those values, and want to contribute to something greater are at the top of the priority list for Moesha.

ENVIRONMENT

Environment and sustainability are fundamental issues for marathon swimmers like Moesha. The experience of the open water swim is dramatically affected by the environment and the water, and Moesha is an advocate for conservation, improved technologies, and long term outcomes to preserve the safety and feasibility of marathon swimming, and the environment as a whole.

PERFORMANCE

Moesha has her sights set on continuing to perform at the highest level, and making every element of that process as professional as possible. Whether its apparel, nutrition or recovery, every aspect is a focus as Moesha continues to push herself beyond her bounds.
