PSA 🚨 You do not have to breathe to both sides in freestyle! 🚨

In fact, for most swimmers it is better to breathe to one side to achieve a smooth, efficient and sustainable stroke.

If you feel anxious about ‘what lies beneath’ in open water, I can help you develop your confidence and help you build a toolkit of strategies for swimming in nature. It’s very normal to feel apprehension, anxiety or fear around open water, and it’s also possible to learn to manage that feeling and enjoy yourself! DM me and we can start to work on it together 🏊‍♀️💙 🐠

Beautiful swim in a brisk 9.8° and I had the Lake to myself - what luxury! Followed up by a flask of my go-to homemade warm winter soup.

Been a while since I’ve posted - the summer season at Lido was crazy busy and I ran more than 250 adult technical 121 lessons! - but my mind has turned to autumn 🍂 and cold water swimming. Had a lovely trip back to Lake 32 Outdoor Centre on Monday with my swimming buddy for my first cold water dip of the season. Really felt the high! 13.7° on Monday, down to 12.8° today … 🧊 🥶 ☕️ 🧁 🤿 🩵
