Thursday Squad is great fun, technique session, along with some faster sets, just what you need to kickstart your day 🥳💦

A great rotation session with a big focus on catch and pull. Steady improvements.

Today was my 70th swim of the year (117th SWS) over 2 years and my fastest pool session to date; 3.3km at 1:42/100m! These milestones often get overlooked when we’re focused on big goals, but today reminded me how far I’ve come. Two years ago I could only dream of holding 1:4X pace for a full session, and now it’s becoming my norm.

Coach Tait threw a brutal set at us: 5 rounds of 10×25m sprints with a 200m recovery/threshold between each block. Working together in the lane made it fast, fun and seriously productive. I felt strong, in control, and ready to push. Garmin called it “unproductive” — but sometimes the tech doesn’t understand the magic of a good session. Proud of this one. Onwards! 💪🏻🔥 thank you Jason for all your feedback, support and some brutal squad sessions, it’s great preparation for my open-water challenges and my 8 *10k swims I have this year.

Great session...lost count of the 25m sprints after about 40! Will keep coming back.

Definitely a spicy set this morning!! 😮‍💨

Another brilliant lesson. So much to learn! And Jason always knows exactly what the issue is and how to solve it. Look forward to the next one after lots of practicing today’s drills.

Excellent session today and really worked on my recent feedback I had from Tuesday’s session and felt good and worked hard on the strokes and hand entry, which then helped with my  overall swim and gaining good threshold pace.
Loved this set today. 💙

Great session just over 3600m for me _ mostly at pace. Expecting speedy results from these sets.

Had my first session with South West Swim after a long period out of the pool. Thoroughly enjoyed. Really well structured swim session, fun approach to coaching and friendly swimmers who didn't mind dragging me around for the full session.

I had a very informative 1-2-1 lake coaching session with Jason on Tuesday. How I “feel” I swim isn’t actually “how I actually” swim. We tried lots of different techniques to see which felt right for me.
