Behind the scenes

LET’S CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM

Most of us don’t struggle because we don’t know wh Most of us don’t struggle because we don’t know what to do.

We struggle with starting. Especially when we’re tired, busy or simply cannot be bothered.

And that’s what I’ve realised about my online classes and PT memberships. The workouts matter, obviously, but they’re really the foundation for building consistency.

You’ve got something in the diary. Someone expecting you. A reason to show up, even when motivation has wandered off.

Depending on the membership, that might look like regular online classes, one or two PT sessions each month, ongoing check-ins and someone gently keeping you accountable.

Because sometimes you don’t need a new plan. You just need support actually doing the one you already have.

Consistency is boring until it works. Then everyone wants to know your secret 🙃

When my mum got sick, I almost walked away from sw When my mum got sick, I almost walked away from swimming.

Lessons felt insignificant beside hospital visits, grief and everything we were facing. But even at the end of her life, my mum encouraged me to go. That was who she was. Still looking after me, reminding me to take a little time away from looking after her.

And honestly, I’ve never regretted dragging myself to a lesson, even on the worst days.

I’ve swum sad, angry, exhausted and completely distracted. I’ve cried in the changing rooms, then got in the pool anyway. Swimming hasn’t fixed anything, but it has given me somewhere to put it all.

Eventually, I’m working towards swimming two miles at Swim Serpentine and completing my London Classics. This year, I’m starting with the half mile, taking place the day before what would have been (is?!) my mum’s 75th birthday. The first big milestone since she died.

So if you’re new here, come along for the journey. I’m learning to swim, learning to grieve and learning that sometimes you don’t have to feel ready.

You just do it anyway. 🤍

Not sure I qualify as a cool girl, but when I was Not sure I qualify as a cool girl, but when I was first starting out with swimming lessons and watching the “pros” do their dive starts I thought they looked cool 😝 so we can extrapolate that I’m at least on my way to cool status, huh?!

I managed to squeeze in four dives at the end of this weeks lesson by wasting NO time. This was dive number three, accompanied by my swim teacher saying “when it sounds like that, it’s a good dive” 🙌🏾🙃 (but you should’ve seen my first dive of the evening lol) as I said before though, I learn more from the dives that aren’t perfect.

Last night me and @moactive_therapy were reminiscing about how it wasn’t long ago we were both in the “baby” pool and nervous about putting our face in the water. I’m genuinely loving seeing what my body AND brain can learn and achieve on this journey!

Well that didn’t quite go to plan 🫠 only had these Well that didn’t quite go to plan 🫠 only had these goggles 2 weeks so hoping they’ll send me a replacement 🤞🏾

Thankfully today was super cloudy so my pool goggles sufficed. Massive thank you to @womenintriuk for an awesome coached open water session! I left Luxborough Lake feeling much more comfortable and confident that when I got in.

Might post the whole reel / kit list another day but I don’t think I reshot the goggle part 🤪 as was running behind schedule.

Swim Serpentine 1/2 mile…. I’m coming for yooooooou… well, I’m trying, I’m trying lol
