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 AM LOVING IT! 😚💞 Everything is so much better. The people, the trainings, the EVERYTHING! I do not regret that I left, and I am saying that respectfully. I’ll be starting morning practices at 06:00 tomorrow morning and im very excited to start again. We used to have them in the previous club, but then it stopped at some point. The swimmers are a little faster than me at some sets, but it gives me the motivation to wanting to be at the same level as them. Im feeling every single day like that I’ve learned something new, and it wasn’t like that in my last club, I felt like I was stuck in place all the time. And it’s surprisingly similar to the Tenerife camp, the trainings and stretchings, and it’s good to continue/learned what I did in Tenerife here in Iceland, so this move was very successful. I’ve done one week with them already 🥹💕. Also, surprising plot twist, I’ve gotten a new guy in my class. He’s nice to talk to and an okay guy. When I went to swim practice after school that Friday, he appeared suddenly and started talking to my coach about the program. I was pretty stunned as the guy never mentioned to me before that he was a swimmer, and we did the whole thing “get to know each other” in school. I mean, im not against it obviously, I love meeting swimmers 🫶. It’s exciting and we will basically be stuck together the whole day/s. I mean, this is just a fun fact I wanted to share out there 🫠. Alright, now I gotta get some rest for the morning training tomorrow LOL. ✨💤
