Last year I couldn’t go to regionals because I was sick, so this time I was very excited. I started Friday with 400free, I just wanted to finish first and beat a long time concurrent, that’s why I started the race very fast to avoid that he goes in front of me. I finished 5 seconds over my pb (4:19) and finished first. Saturday I swam first 200fly, I should start working on my strength and swim fly in practice because the last 50 I just tried to survive and lost many seconds, but I was still first with a time of 2:20 and an 8 sec pb. After that, I started for 200IM, I just need to work on backstroke because I lost much time, and I was second with a time of 2:18 and 1 sec pb. Then 100 free, I swam my pb time (58sec), I should find an adapted warm up. And the last race of the day was 200 breaststroke, I felt the fatigue in my muscles and after the race at cool down I had a cramp. The end time was again my old pb 2:39 Last race day, I waited 3 hours between warm up and 200 backstroke, and as said I need to work backstroke because the time was 3 sec over pb (2:25), after that, I needed to directly go for 100 fly, feelings were great but my muscles were at the end. Swam a 1 sec pb, 1:05. The last start was 200 free, I was placed 2nd with 0.2 sec to the first and swam 1 sec over pb, 2:01.4 I will need to work on backstroke technique and adapt my warm up for 100s and breaststroke I’ve won 1 bronze, 4 silver and 2 gold medals

Part 1 - Ireland 100 Breast - gained some time on my PB (+1.02) but still made it to the A final, unfortunately added another 0.09 to my time and finished 8th. 50 Fly not at all happy - added 1.28 and needless to say did not make it to any final. 50 Breast swam a tiny PB -0.03 and made it to the B final, there I managed to improve again by a tiny amount 0.10. 100 Fly complete disaster. This completely shook my confidence. Nothing went right. Goggles filled with water and just nothing felt right about the race. Wanted to quit right then and there but after a bit of deep breathing I managed to work through it a little and got myself ready for the 200 IM which I generally feel I am not very good at. 200 IM - surprisingly I managed to swim a PB dropped 0.48 and made it into the A final. That unfortunately did not go as well as the prelim but I will take it. 400 Free went ok, though added a little time. 200 Breast - in prelims dropped 0.77 seconds and made it to the A final, again in the final added time again but was reasonably happy with the end result. Last day 400 IM - Had a massive panic attack about 30 minutes before I had to go to the call room. Managed to calm myself down and relax enough to go do the race. Swam a much better race than I thought I would, gained a little time but considering where I was 45 minutes earlier I was pleased, also made it to the A final which was a great boost. I decided not to swim the final as I was exhausted from the week, but ended on a high nevertheless and I knew I had to do it all again the following week in Switzerland, but a lot less racing. All in all a good experience, realised I don’t really know how to race with prelims and finals as this is not really common in Switzerland except in the bigger meets. Things like how hard to race in the prelims and then still have enough in the tank (even with a rest) for finals. Also realised I have still some work to do with nerves/anxiety - first time in a long time that I had to work through such emotions.

this weekend I had the regional championships. Overall I‘m really happy with my performance. On Saturday I had the 50 and 100 fly. In the 50 I was .07 over my PB and won silver. In the prelims of the 100 I felt great and went my first 1:00 of 2026 and was hyped for the final. Sadly the afternoon got scratched because of another massive storm so no final and also no relay. I was seeded first so I became regional champion without even swimming the final. also we were the favorites for the 4x100 mixed medley relay which should have been after the final. That also wasn‘t competed On Sunday I only had the 100 back. I placed 4th in the prelims and could improve by almost a second to take 2nd place. I also swam my fastest time in an outdoor pool but still not happy with it - my PB would have won me the race :/ My season is now over and I wanna get back into my training rhythm to prepare for Tenerife So hyped for that already Thanks to everyone who supported me in my first season with swimpros Specially @Cedric Wittmann and @Oliver Buzas but also to @Yul Münger You‘re the best guys - looking forward to meet u all again soon

Hi everyone! This weekend I'm racing at the Regional Championships. I started yesterday with the 100m breaststroke. I didn't manage to match my PB (more Than 1 second and i don’t really know what went wrong), but I still came away with the silver medal! 🥈 Today I raced the 200m breaststroke, which definitely isn't my event. My coach wanted me to try a different strategy: go out really fast and then hang on until the finish. It worked pretty well—I almost took a full second off my time and won the bronze medal! 🥉 Tomorrow it's time for the 50m breaststroke 🤞🏻 Then I'll have two final weeks of training before the Italian Championships in Rome. 🤞🏻🇮🇹
