Swimpros Sundays!! 🔥 I'll send an update on how this works tomorrow so keep an eye out! 👀 I just uploaded one of the most amazing confidence building sessions I've ever seen - and I didn't even run it 😂 It was WR Holder @Peter Mankoč who was one of our guest coaches in the summer camp. It's 30mins of advice that you wish someone told you 3 hers ago. But you can get free access now. 👉 Comment "Peter" below and I'll send it to you. It's so good I don't wanna make it public so you receive it on the DM's. See ya tomorrow, David & the Swimpros team

Whooooooooooohoooooo, super excited for SC nationals, it's gonna be my first ever time swimming. SC Champs is starting on the 24 September. I'll be swimming 3 days and and I started tapering this week. - I'm waking up at 5 everyday (that's gotten pretty easy since winter champs) - Cutting out sugar (I am allowing myself a cheat day every Sunday) - Less screen time - And focusing more on my Hydration. So yes as I said super excited because like whoa, I'm racing against the whole of SA from the ages of 14 to 24. I don't think I'll make finals because these 20 yr Olds are FAST but honestly I couldn't care. All I know is I made a qualifying time and I get to go!!!🤑🤑

I only swam the 100free LCM. A year ago my time one the 100free at same race was 1.06. Now i swam 1.02.44 First 50 was 29 .00 flat, second 50 was 33.44 Thats a split😅🤣. My first 25m was under 13sec. I had this long debate about what technique to use in the 100 free. In this race, I swam gallop. I had trained zero gallop beforehand. Now that my T-spine rotation has improved, gallop suits me well. After the first 50, I had a bit of confusion with my stroke, but then I corrected it. I am happy with my start and underwaters. I practiced my start beforehand. Still, work needs to be done. My legs are falling a bit flat onto the water. I need to enter the water in more of a straight line, with less splash. Underwaters: From the start, it was good. I was underwater for around 12–13m. That’s my usual. The underwaters from the turn were bad. I didn’t do much training for the 100 beforehand, so I was cooked. I am slowly fixing my turn the way Tino taught us at Summer Camp 1. My kick is kind of nonexistent. I’m gonna improve that. That’s about it.

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
