This is a message from Swim Dem. We have been doing this work for seven years and will continue to do this for as long as we can. White supremacy and systemic racism permeate every aspect of our society and swimming is no different.
We need space. #Blacklivesmatter#swimdemcrew.

Never Not Learning
I’ll be there first to admit that studying Nutrition with MNU wasn’t what I expected it to be... over the past 12 months I’ve been challenged, I’ve been supported (by both the MNU Team & classmates) and most importantly I’ve sur… https://t.co/zSkpCKViOc
Check One, Two
After what feels like an age (but in reality is only 6 weeks) I went to The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital for my first post-op check in with my surgeon.
Results are in! No sign of the Bone Cyst and my fibula has visibly sta… https://t.co/J4ZUVXcTyT
Head Down
It’s pretty telling that the 5 weeks since my surgery has felt like a lifetime... it’s a rarity to get 2 days completely off in a row, let alone be ‘off’ work for this long. Certainly
time for reflection on the concept of ‘balanc… https://t.co/HqGVry0xV1

21 Days
Today marks 3 weeks post-op. 2 weeks of which were spent in a Codeine & Netflix haze... The crutches have gone, the dressing is off & the scar isn’t too bad (shout out to my surgeon for sharp stitches ⚔️)

Rehab: A Dip In The Road

If it can be measured, it can be bettered: be that faster, longer, heavier, the list goes on... I even pride myself on making people ‘faster, stronger, and more resilient’

Keep It Simple

With a lot on my mind it’s easy to skip a workout, if we can’t fit in a familiar session or structured program the desire to do anything wanes (we’re only human after all)
