And why disappointment makes you a faster swimmer (camp talk from Mallorca). ***WATCH RECORDING HERE*** Disappointment after a race isn't something to block out of your life… In this one we break down how to handle the tough emotions in swimming, why process beats chasing a PB, and how to actually get faster. Here's what's inside: 👉 When you really learn more, when you win or when you don't 👉 The measure of progress that keeps you happy in the sport 👉 The training truth every fast swimmer already lives by 👉 The 3 recovery priorities in the exact right order We referenced the in-depth taper training we ran for the previous cycle and I'm attaching it here: https://www.youtube.com/live/aDauT5T6vkg?si=mIhCY2Pk6H0GltRw

So Luana doesn't like to shower because there's water coming in her eyes... Solved the problem by giving her sunglasses to shower. How badass does she look? 😎 But also, showering has become a fun activity for her. What's changed? Nothing really. Her eyes still get wet right? But it's mental. 100% mental. It's a trick that gets a certain result. And it reveals that if we believe something strongly, it becomes real for us. What mental tricks do you have for everyday life? I'll share some of mine in the comments after I read yours!! 👇🔥

Righty well a lot really has been happening with me which is why I haven’t been active so much but for starters, I got accepted into a national team in England 🎉🎉🎉, I had my first lesson with them yesterday and I got to meet most of the team, shocker how all of there national qualifiers are long distance to mid distance swimmers but it was great meeting the team and the coaches, I was welcomed very much with open arms and overall was a great time. So now including my time with this national team I’m going to be almost doubling the amount of training I’m doing a week, going from 5 hours to now 9 hours with 3 hours of gym a week. I also have got my VR set up so I’ll be exercising with that by playing “Gorilla Tag” which is really fun. So a lot has changed for me and I’ll try and get back on Skool more often. 😎

The last three weeks I had three LC outside competitions. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the time but to be honest I could have done a lot better. I already did a post about the first meet so I’ll only go into the other two here. I had so many races at the second competition that I don’t remember every detail but I wanna talk about two of them: 1. I got DQd in my 200 fly for touching not with both hands the same time at the 150 turn - maybe better that no one can see the time now😬 2. The 100 fly went a lot better. I had 1:02.0 in the prelims and 1:02.4 in the final. Quite happy with that result considering the races I had before Backstroke was feeling bad all weekend and I crashed into the lane line multiple times This was also the case this weekend. My start was on fire but I lost my rhythm and speed after 25 meters with a huge crash. Still was faster than the week before but still miles off my PB Fly was feeling really good this weekend. I was getting a lot faster and with every time race and also a lot closer to my PBs. I had 1:01.6 in the individual race and then 1.01.1 in the 4x100 mixed medley relay. We also swam the mixed 4x100 free relay. I went 56.51 so only 0.02 off my PB . Really happy with that. We also broke the meet record in the freestyle relay and won 200€ for our team. The medley relay was also faster than the meet record but we placed 2. so no price money this time. Still really proud of my team because the girls did an amazing job Both relays are also new team records. This is my first one so I’m really happy with it. Overall I didn’t swam a single PB, but that’s not that important for me. I’m locked in for the taper meet in 2 weeks where I’ll go for the 100 fly sub 1:00. This was my goals since January and now I’m closer than ever to it. Have to recover hard now and earn the results PS 100 fly from this weekend attached
