Got my swim tag all set up 💪 Ready to track my efforts, 43 laps in 45 minutes on my first attempt. Is that a good result? 😁 I was a competition swimmer for 15 years and it's been almost as long since I last swam properly, still got my breast stroke down good 👌 Sauna or steam room, which is better for afterwards? 🤔 #swimming #swimtag #strava #stravaswim

We need your help! 🫵 Westwoods are entering a team of swimmers to compete with Mill House Leisure Centre, Palatine Leisure Centre, and Moor Park Health and Leisure Centre in our latest SWIMTAG challenge.

The battle will start once all four centres have assembled a team of ten swimmers! 📲 You do not need to be Michael Phelps to enter as all efforts are appreciated!

New #PB, fastest have #Swam 80 lengths. Beat previous PB by 2 mins. Not bad, considering had stomach bug earlier in week. Maybe as am lighter after said illness, been able to move faster. Regardless, am pretty pleased. #Swimming #JustKeepSwimming #SwimTag #ACLReconstruction #Breaststroke

5th Jan vs 23rd Jan Pretty much nearly the same swim time, but an extra 100m accomplished in that time 💪🏼💪🏼 Even though the pool was really busy for some reason this morning, I've managed to smash out a new PB for the year in terms of swim length & time! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️ #morningswim #swimmingfitness #swimmingforweightloss #swimtag #weightlossjourney #75dayhard #75daychallenge

Winter is definitely not my favourite season temperature wise, but I'm now post-jab and recovered from illness, so it's back to fundraising! I'm actually quite impressed with how much front crawl I managed to do, I was expecting to be back to near where I started after so long off, but we did it 💪 It definitely wasn't the easiest, and the first 20-30 lengths are always hard, but it's worth it for how peaceful the second mile is once my body has settled in 🏊‍♀️ #swimmer #swimming #swimtag #swim #aspirechannelswim #aspire #aspirechannelswim2023 #fundraiser #fundraising #spinalcordinjury #spinalhealth #spinalinjury #charity #charityswim #fitness

I had my session corrected from a few weeks ago! It now looks much closer to how I thought I swam, especially time wise, and I'm pretty happy with the results 😍 Absolutely loving swimtag it's so helpful being able to see a complete breakdown of my swim, and it's amazing that an incorrect analysis can be corrected by having a person go through the data recorded 🔥

Spent the latter half of yesterday having mild-moderate heart palpitations, so I took it pretty easy today. Lots of rests and water breaks, and I mostly focused on skills rather than lengths! Did a lot of exclusive arm work, especially for front crawl as it's my weakest stroke, and I could definitely tell the difference by the end of the session 🥳 #swimmer #swimming #swim #swimtag #pool #swimmingpool #laneswimming #technique #improvingtechnique

I was slower tonight than last week, but I had mowed the lawn and cycled to the pool. I knew I was doing better but looking at a swim from 18 months ago it was still a surprise! I’m so grateful and lucky to have my health on the up and fitness improving. #howdoesitgetbetterthanthis🧞‍♂️
