Monday's Moment Swimming

The rest of swimming week is dedicated to swimming with babies or children but of course Monday is dedicated to the adults!! Swimming is a brilliant exercise for young or old and all those in between but of course it can feel like a lonely sport at times with your head down counting the tiles as they go by.  So I thought I'd bring you some of the events that you can get involved with to motivate you a little bit more.

British Gas Swimfit

Swimfit is an online club of sorts for swimming as adult which brings you a coachzone with various work outs provided and also challenges that you can get involved in.  Getting work out cards from swim fit is a great way to bring variety to your swimming and we all know variety is the spice of life! If you have different sessions then it will keep your interest in swimming a lot longer than going and doing the same amount of lengths each time.  As an extra benefit swim fit members get 20% off Speedo too!

Swimathon

You may think that it's only children who do a swimathon? Wrong! This years swimathon has linked up to raise money for Sport Relief and you can do 1.5km, 2.5km, 5km or a team event.  Having an event like the swimathon is a great way to get motivated to train and also do good at the same time!!

Open Water Series

Over the last few years open water swimming has become much more popular with more events taking place each year.  If you're a confident swimmer then these events are a great way to get involved and do something different from your normal swimming activities.  These events become quite popular so it's best to book your place early!!  This is on my hit list for next year! I haven't done any outdoor swimming the past so I'm not sure I'll like it but I'd like to give it a go.  I'd like to do the event at Eton Dorney which was the Olympic rowing venue.

Have you got any swimming events planned? Or have you just started swimming? Would love to hear from you if you plan to do any challenges like this!!
