The short version: @alexdownswim is taking on the English Channel again 😮🏊‍♀️🥶

This summer. Not solo (yet!), but as part of another @cosmiccharity relay team. She’s still wary of jellyfish, still driven, and still as determined as ever to make a difference.

Two hours since the plane landed and counting

@HeathrowAirport any chance we can get the bags from the Tenerife flight BA 417? Lots of people waiting….

At #RCGPAC25. 1st time in >10y my poster (9299) is not about care homes! Excited to showcase outcomes of collaborative, cross-sector working, how thinking differently about skill mix created some excellent patient outcomes + positive impacts #GPwSI #palliativecare #frailty #GP

@DrSdeG Oh no, was hoping to see you’d found her/she was home. Keeping all things crossed xx

Once again @Jets_Swimming is left without a pool, days before the season starts….
5 years ago the original video got covered by @BBCLondonNews and now the Club is asking for for help again to publicise it’s plight and find pool space #swimming

Running a swimming club would be much, much easier if the pool was open

Handy of @haart_uk to logo their cars well enough that we know who has completely blocked our driveway (albeit in Ealing not Dulwich - all the other Hasrt cars also parked here are from the Ealing branch)

2/ Once we get chance we’ll try to post more details from each meet, but for now a quick round up+a few photos of a brilliant (exhausting!) weekend. All of the hard work of the season from swimmers of all levels definitely paying off. We are always so proud of all of our swimmers

[Hounslow Jets Swimming Club @Jets_Swimming]

Last competition weekend of 24/25 season-another record-breaking one for Jets! 48 swimmers at 3 meets - we’ve needed all of our incredible volunteers (TMs/officials) + coaches to make it happen. Very grateful for their support for the swimmers+Club #FlyJetsFly #swimming
