Whatever your reason for getting in.

Some swimmers are chasing a time, some chasing a distance and others chasing the feeling of getting out and grinning ear to ear. I create memories for them all and we're about to throw ourselves head first into another winter season....

As a swimmer and swim guide myself, I know what those moments feel like from the inside out.

If you're swimming somewhere this winter or wanting to have an event captured, come say hi 👋

I'll be at events across the UK, England, Scotland and Wales !! I'll post up the ones I'm scheduled to be at soon, but in the meantime if you're interested in getting photos and videos of your own drop me a message and let's have a chat!

We're just like you! 🌊🫶🏼🏊‍♀️

Shout out to all the lovely swimmers around the world who participated in this!

The closeness of the swimming community is one of the best parts of the sport, and if this collaboration doesn't prove that... I don't know what does!

Swim on!

On avait dit 14 km, en fait on a nagé droit alors ça en a fait 12.
On avait dit moins de 5h30, alors on a nagé en 4h42.
On avait dit que le courant serait dans un sens, alors qu’il était dans tous les sens 🤢.
On avait dit que le #diabète serait difficile à gérer alors que j’ai été stable comme jamais 🤩.
On avait dit que ce serait magnifique…c’était peu dire ☀️ .
On avait dit que la natation était un sport solitaire, mais alors l’équipe qui soutient et qui avance ensemble, ça compte pour du beurre? (Merci à Karine et BIG BIG BIG FUCKING UP à @amygetscold 🙏🏽)
On avait dit qu’on y arriverait, et on l’a fait…ON L’A FAIT! ✔️

Est-ce que c’était difficile?! Ooh que oui!
Est-ce que ça donne envie de réaliser d’autres projets fous? Of course!
Est-ce que j’ai économisé 44€ de ferry Bonifacio-Santa Teresa? Heeee ouiii

Thank you for capturing the good, the bad and the real ugly. I don't know how long I was in after this but I know I was well looked after 🩷🪼

No marathon swim would ever be possible without crew. And I don't say that lightly.

When you see someone in the water, you think, "Wow, amazing, hardcore," right? But behind the camera, behind every swimmer, there is a crew working tirelessly to keep the swimmer safe, focused, fed, hydrated, motivated, alert... The list goes on.

I might not have made it to France for the 3rd time. But the universe granted me something so much more valuable - it granted me you, Amy (@amygetscold ), as my crew! And now, a friend for life 💙

Without knowing me, you committed and gave me a whole week of your life (away from your kiddos & life), getting to know me as a swimmer and as a person, learning about my story with the Channel and the journey that brought me here.

What was asked of you on the night of the swim, and how incredibly strongly you coped with everything thrown at us, was beyond what should have ever been asked of you.

Amy (@amygetscold ), you are a light of a human being ✨️, whose love, kindness and strength radiate outwards. Thank you for being there for me, whatever the outcome.💙💙💙

Please give Amy a very loud virtual cheer! 🎉

Occasionally you get lucky and find people who are just as bonkers as you.
When you do, keep them. 🤣🌊

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the power of women supporting women. 💜

At the Women’s Sports Store, we’re proud to champion incredible female founders who have both given and gained by lifting each other up.

When women collaborate, share, and challenge the barriers in sport and business, incredible things happen.

Every step, ride, swim or run is a reminder that strength isn’t just physical, it’s collective.

Here’s to the amazing female founders building a more confident, connected future for women through movement.
