Morgan Filler: Beyond the Finish Line

Ivana Bajic Season 1 Episode 10

In this episode of Waves of Women, we dive into the life of Morgan Filler — an accomplished athlete recognized by the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame, and a cool mom who can play any sport.

We explore the choices that shape self-love and confidence — the foundation for becoming a strong partner, mother, and community member. Morgan opens up about the challenges she faced in the sports world, the process of navigating her identity after retiring from professional competition, and how her personal dissatisfaction with the limited swimwear options opened the door to a new career as the designer behind See Her Swim.

Not only does she fill an important gap in the market by creating durable and fashionable swimsuits for women in their 40s to 60s, but she also focuses strongly on celebrating older women and all body types. 

Morgan’s life is a reminder that chasing dreams matters more than chasing trends, and that living fully is more meaningful than posing for the world to see.


Her achievements also include some of the most iconic marathon swims in the world :)
 • the 28-mile circumnavigation of Manhattan Island
 • the 21-mile Catalina Channel crossing
 • winning the 16-mile Japan Open
