October. November. December. Let’s lock in with our swimming 🏊🏾‍♀️

I’ve gone from learning to swim again as an adult to finishing half a mile at Swim Serpentine. Mostly breaststroke, plenty of yapping, but we got there 😅

Next up: getting more comfortable with front crawl and keeping at those tumble turns. Something’s starting to click, and I want to see where another three months of practice takes me.

Weekly group lessons, going with my husband and having something booked in have helped me stick with it this time.

Anyone else working on their swimming? Tell me what you’re practising! …let’s do this together 👇🏾

Looking strong in the water! I'm still in beginner mode... hoping that by the end of the year i can properly coordinate my limbs and breath in the water and stop fretting about my swimcap slipping 😅🏊‍♀️

My girl, you know my feelings on your swim journey! Massively inspired and once things settle down at home I’m going to dip my toe in the pool and hopefully start lessons 🤞🏼

Yes! Your Swim Serpentine post has inspired me to sign up eventually for next year! 800m will be a challenge but I figure a year should be enough to build up, and it was helpful to hear that you were able to change strokes and take float breaks etc to keep going
