Few people understand pressure like Aviation Rescue Swimmer Taryn Frazelle. A high-performance athlete and ranked CrossFit competitor, Taryn brought that same strength and discipline into the fleet—where staying calm isn’t optional, it’s life or death.

During one intense mission near Papua New Guinea, a routine flight turned into a high-risk remote island rescue. Conditions were chaotic and the mission evolved by the second. But Taryn’s training, composure, and focus took over. Her calm in the middle of that storm saved lives and set the standard for what it truly means to be a Rescue Swimmer.

In this episode of Calm in the Chaos, Taryn shares:

The full story of the rescue near Papua New Guinea
What it takes to stay calm when everything around you is breaking down
The mindset required to perform at the highest level—physically, mentally, and emotionally
Lessons from the Rescue Swimmer community and the missions that shape you forever
