Berenice KA Nationals in Mombasa
What a weekend! Bérénice delivered an incredible performance, swimming 8 races — even more with prelims and finals — under the intense 31°C Mombasa sun. From my side: we survived as spectators (I nearly fainted 😅), while she was absolutely superb as a competitor! Kenya Aquatics keeps testing our patience, and we dream of experiencing meets in other countries just to understand what normal conditions really feel like. Still, Bérénice truly enjoyed the team spirit, helping to win the girls’ team trophy and, most importantly, achieving her very first SANJ qualifying time in the 200 IM. What a promising start to the 2026 season! Being the youngest in her age group is a real challenge, and we were also impressed by a very promising young Tanzanian swimmer, Nicolene Viljoen — remember that name, she’s going places! No times shared here, as this meet is just one more important step in Bérénice’s journey towards her goals before March. This event officially closes our fall season, and now we’re heading to the colder climate of France for the Christmas holidays — a well-deserved change of scenery. Bérénice’s mum

🧦🆘 Drag Socks But Where?? (share your secret supplier pls!) )
Guys, we need collective input here... A lot of website and suppliers seem to be out of stock. I imagine it's not only because Swimpros is going to camp in 4 weeks... Clubs are catching up to the latest training tools and ordering in bulk. What websites can you recommend? Where did I get yours? Put everything you know about drag sox in the comments. Thank u!! I know @Cedric Wittmann and @Tomislav Matic were asking but there were more ppl interested. HELPPPP 🆘👇

Does the 300€ swimwear better than the 70€one? what makes the differences?

I love that question!!! I don’t know if I do it right. Normal decathlon suits for training sessions . But for the competition I buy the expensive stuff second hand… (100 euros max) . Many swimmers just use them a few times and outgrow them…. So that s my “mum” tip. They might loose a bit of their effectiveness but they do the mental trick to be in a superhero suit!!! Then I prefer to put money in a good pair of goggles

Hi!! Happy to join here! I am Berenice s mum. She is 10yo ( nearly 11 !) She swims in Kenya and have big dreams. She trains 4 to 5 times a week depending if there is competition or not. She already started the mindgym and saw some improvement in her stress management. Her goals are national level in Kenya for this year , joining French championship next year and hopefully reaching a Olympic level in 2028/2032…

Update on that message of introduction 1 year ago. Berenice still has big dreams, we didn’t come back in France as scheduled . So She is still navigating the Kenyan national championships. We see some opportunities to join some casual competition but sadly we are limited by costs and as the French nationality and no being French club licenced is limiting her to be selected further now. However she is building on her training to improve her times towards the WA qualifying times one day. (Still quiet a long way to go but no harm in big dreams right?! ) We feel blessed to have such a strong daughter who find self motivation to be the best version of herself. David has helped her and continues tofind and develop this inner strength . Thank you!
Interschool & Interclub in Nairobi
Yesterday was a Friendly interschool competition, with 3 nice races and a 100IM PB. Today was interclub, a first LC competition for the season with some “new” events ( 800 and 200 free) Sadly the events were so late, her 400 free is postpone tomorrow… She did an amazing pacing job on her 800m free LC. And went below the 3 min in 200 IM. We still have a lot of work before getting to the SANJ minimas but she’s getting closer to her goal. Tonight we celebrate the wins!

Interclub Update. Sunday Berenice went back to swim the 400 free. The marshelling was… interesting… Berenice was very cold in the wind waiting for 1h before the race. No clean toilets... adventure! Nevertheless she swam 400free LC in 5:38. There is place for improvement especially on the kicks. Now the next goal is Kenya Nationals in Mombasa in December. Looking forward and working on improving the times!
