Frank Chalmers was a multifaceted individual, embracing journalism and political activism while also becoming a renowned wild swimmer, notably swimming the Channel and negotiating treacherous waters.
His early experiences in Dundee led him to form a strong sense of activism, heavily influenced by his family's background in poverty and his involvement in the Communist party.
Throughout his life, Frank was committed to his career in journalism and union representation, while continuously seeking to make meaningful changes, starting from his school days.
Frank's adventurous spirit shone through in his wild swimming exploits, particularly his remarkable feat of swimming the Corryvreckan whirlpool and nearly crossing the Pentland Firth.
