About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of recognizing personal achievements in swimming while setting new goals and incorporates speed drills to enhance performance.

This week we're diving into swim goals and asking whether we're always too focused on the next challenge instead of recognising how far we've already come. We discuss why goals can be important, but also why it's easy to forget the achievements along the way as the goalposts continue to move. From confidence and distance to pace and performance, when do we stop and appreciate what we've already accomplished? Our Drill of the Moment focuses on speed work, exploring why every swimmer can benefit from incorporating speed drills into their training and how they can improve efficiency, confidence and overall swimming performance. As always, we finish with Tell It To The Sea, celebrating some fantastic moments from our own swimming journeys and the wonderful achievements of swimmers in our community. A positive episode about progress, perspective and enjoying the journey as much as the destination. 🌊🎙️💙 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts ⭐ Like, rate & review to help more swimmers find us 💬 Got questions or drill requests?
