    S3 E20 Think Like an Athlete: The Secret to Better Swimming

    What does it really take to improve your swimming? In this episode, we explore why progress often starts outside your comfort zone. Whether you're trying to swim further, faster, improve your technique or overcome fears in the water, growth requires a willingness to embrace discomfort and trust the process. We discuss the importance of thinking like an athlete showing up consistently, focusing on the small improvements and understanding that the best swimmers aren't necessarily the most talented, but often the most persistent. Our Drill of the Moment is the humble pull buoy. We talk about why it's one of our favourite training tools, how it helps improve body position, encourages a stronger catch and pull, and allows swimmers to focus on what their upper body is doing in the water. As always, we finish with Tell It To The Sea, featuring some unexpected encounters involving fish, paddle boards and the little moments that make spending time on and around the water so special. So grab a cuppa, settle in and join us for another swim-filled chat from the North Devon coast. 🌊 Seas Your Dreams 🌊🎙️💙 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts ⭐ Like, rate & review to help more swimmers find us 💬 Got questions or drill requests?

    Back in the Swim: Dart 10K, Big Achievements & Busy Times

    After a little break from podcasting, we're back! In this episode, we chat about why we've been absent from the podcast lately and how life has been incredibly busy, particularly with our work on the Into the Blue project. We also take a deep dive into our recent Dart 10K swim, sharing what we loved about the event, the experience of swimming such an iconic route and why it's one of our favourite swims to date. One of the highlights of the episode is celebrating the achievements of our swimmers. From overcoming fears to reaching personal goals and completing challenges they once thought impossible, we reflect on how rewarding it is as coaches to watch hard work and determination pay off. Our Drill of the Moment is Drafting. We explain what it is, why it can make such a difference in open water swimming and how you can use it to swim more efficiently and conserve energy. And, of course, we finish with our usual Tell It To The Sea moments, sharing the stories, smiles and memorable moments that have made us grateful to be part of such an amazing swimming community. 🌊 Seas Your Dreams 🌊 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts ⭐ Like, rate & review to help more swimmers find us 💬 Got questions or drill requests?

    S3 E18 Goals, Growth & Going Faster

    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?

    S3 E17 Cold Water and coastal wins

    After a week away from the microphones, we're back catching up on everything that's been happening both in and out of the water. We chat about an unexpected day off that turned out to be a real treat for one of us, before discussing the serious topic of cold water shock. We explore why education around cold water safety is so important and talk about our work with William from Tide School to help raise awareness and improve understanding. Our Drill of the Moment focuses on using fins and how they can help improve body position, technique, propulsion and overall swim efficiency. As always, our Tell It To The Sea section celebrates personal achievements, coaching highlights, coastal swims and the fantastic wins we've seen from swimmers in our community. A thoughtful episode covering safety, education, swimming development and plenty of reasons to celebrate time spent in the water.  🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts ⭐ Like, rate & review to help more swimmers find us 💬 Got questions or drill requests?

    S3 E14 Are you racing to failure?

    In this week’s episode we reflect on a brilliant community beach promenade tidy-up, where we tackled a huge amount of sand build-up, a real team effort and such a rewarding way to give back. We then dive into the idea of racing to failure, how easy it is to rush progress in training, and why taking your time is key to avoiding injury, improving technique and building long-term strength in the water. Our Drill of the Moment is the Torpedo, a fantastic exercise to help improve balance, streamline and core engagement, essential for a more efficient swim. To finish, our Tell It to the Sea moments are filled with some truly lovely and memorable experiences from the week, the kind that remind us why we love what we do. Tune in for community, coaching insights and plenty of sea-filled reflections. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts ⭐ Like, rate & review to help more swimmers find us 💬 Got questions or drill requests?

    S3 E13 Wind, Waves & Why We Move

    In this week’s episode we take you to Bude for our recent kayak course, where things didn’t quite go to plan… thanks to some seriously high winds and a rather interesting attempt at camping overnight 😅🌬️ We also dive into a really honest conversation about why we exercise, is it for fun, for fitness, for weight loss, or something more? A topic we know so many of you will relate to. Our Drill of the Moment is the 50p squeeze, a simple but effective way to engage your glutes and activate your core, helping you feel more connected and stable in the water. As always, we finish with our Tell It to the Sea moments, sharing reflections from the week, and we couldn’t not mention our van Joy, who’s had a little glow-up with some fresh new signage 🚐✨ 🎧 Expect laughs, honesty and plenty of salty chat along the way 🌊 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts ⭐ Like, rate & review to help more swimmers find us 💬 Got questions or drill requests?
