I just had my first ever open water race. I was one of the youngest, because you have to be at least 14. And it was in Tenero. It was really beautiful and hot. So we had great conditions. I swam the 3km and had about 44 minutes. It was super fun and definitely different from all of my other competitions that I’ve had. I am also really excited for next year because my coach said she sees me in open water and I am also going again next year. It also felt amazing, I definitely died but I gave it my all and I felt super fast. So I’m really excited for the next season.

Day 1 Heats 100free: 1.03 added a second, but my underwaters improved and my coach said I seem more concentrated. I figured I need to work on my endurance but this a a qualifying time for SA sc nationals, so decently happy 50bk: 34 stayed on my time, I think I added a 0.3 or something, this felt pretty good. My start felt amazing but I did miss count my strokes and glided a bit too much for bothe the turn and finish (weirdly enough all the girls in my club had the exact same problem and even some of the other clubs did) 100IM: 1.17 stayed on my time, well I took off splits but it was like 0.2. There wasn't any oxygen in the pool but otherwise it felt OK, not necessarily strong and again I fumbled a bit on the backstroke finish Finals: 100 free 1.03 swam splits faster and came 2nd by 0.4 my underwaters felt better and you could breath more as they finally opened the doors. I slowed down q bit on my last lap and chocked on water twice but all in all I'm happy with the result 50bk : added splits and came 3rd My underwaters felt once gain better and the turn was better too the finish not so much. I realize my arms could have more power and my kick too. 100 IM same time, kept my head down and went for it. My coach says he want to turn me into an IM swimmer, he says my breaststroke improved and I'm gliding better. I counted my strokes and I did 9. The gala before I did 11. Yes happy happy Day 2 Heats 200 free 2.27 added 5 seconds, there was so much stream and my lungs collapsed on the first 50, I made it to finals ranked 4th, my underwaters were ok but far from the best 100 bk 1.15 dropped a second but my coach was mad at me because I went slow. The steam was actually so bad I cooked on water twice and coughed but water as I got out. My turns were better than the day before 50 free 28.13 added 0.14 happy with my time bit disnt kick enough the last 15 meters I think I took 3 breaths and I had a okish reaction time Finals 200 free 2.23 took off 4 of the 5 seconds that I added and came 3rd, it oxygen was a bit better and my turns flet ok, and once again my couch and I agreed that I need endurance training

Yesterday was my first ever open water mile. i was feeling a bit of nerves because 1. i hate swimming with fish 2. i have never swam anything more than a 500. but all of my friends were doing it, and i have been wanting to do it since the beginning of summer. but i really enjoyed racing, it even felt surprisingly easy. i will be doing another one next month, so i will be updating on that! i went 24 minutes, im pretty happy with it 🙂
