One more go at the Swimfit session for this week, made up to 2.6km with front crawl. It was a bit of a struggle to be honest. I just didn’t seem to have the energy any more. Total distance for … Continue reading →

My Easter weekend was spent coaching swimmers (including, to be fair, my own offspring) at the Taunton and Exeter Level 1 meet at Millfield pool. I do enjoy this sort of stuff, but as one nears the end of a … Continue reading →
