About this episode

The episode discusses jogging, cramp management for swimmers, and features a swimming drill while emphasizing the mental benefits of swimming.

This week we’re lacing up our trainers and surprising ourselves… yes, we’ve entered our jogging era and we’re actually proud of it 🏃‍♀️👏 We dive into a topic many swimmers quietly struggle with - cramp. What causes it, how to reduce the risk, and what to do if it strikes mid-swim.  Our drill of the moment is the brilliant single-arm drill, perfect for improving catch, body position, breathing control, and identifying imbalances in your stroke. And we finish with our Tell It to the Sea moment, where the water became a place of release, reset and reflection for our swimmers. Sometimes it’s not about pace or distance, it’s about letting the sea hold it all. Practical, honest, and full of real swim life, come and join us 🌊💙 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts ⭐ Like, rate & review to help more swimmers find us 💬 Got questions or drill requests?
