    Savannah Reis of Brandon was taken into custody by the Rankin County Sheriffs Department last Friday, she’s since been released on bond.

    The 34-year-old whos husband founded the Performance Elite Aquatics Program in Madison is facing multiple accounts of sexual battery after tips to the Rankin County Sheriffs Department led them to believe she was having an inappropriate relationship with a swimmer.

    She was once trusted to watch over and train kids to be successful swimmers, but now Performance Elite Aquatics coach Savannah Reis is accused of having sexual relationships with a former athlete.

    “It was actually brought to the attention of the department through an anonymous tip,” Rankin County Sheriffs Legal Counsel Paul Holley told us. “Our investigators followed up on it brought on the form of the indictment passed down on Friday. Mrs. Reis was then booked in the Rankin County jail.”

  • Wild swimming and Trail running in Yorkshire with Rory Southworth.

    Swim, Run, Repeat.

    Part 1 – Yorkshire
    Part 2 – The Lake District
    Part 3 – Lancashire

    We start early morning at Gadding’s Dam – a strange tiny beach in the middle of the moors, with sand that’s been ground down from the gritstone laid there.

    From Gadding’s Dam you can run (or drive) over to Hebden Bridge to explore the quiet yet epic trails that wind through the woods. Rory explains why this beautiful and unappreciated place is one of his favourite trail running places in the UK, and how the running differs from places like the Lake District.

    Tempted to go trail running or wild swimming now?
