Welcome to this week’s weekly blog!
First of all, I’ll start with sponsorship. It’s been hard and frustrating as it’s going to take time and effort to find the right sponsors. If you have any businesses you think will be interested, let us know! However, having said that I am delighted to say we now have on board a well-respected professional whose reputation meant she could well have gone to the Olympics for work. I am therefore over the moon to announce that Sanctum therapies has joined the team and will be helping myself with both the physical and mental development of the training side of things! They are now on the website’s sponsor page where you can find out more about their business, which is based in Birmingham!
In a week of announcements I’m very pleased to say that Charlotte Prosser is going to be assisting me in my open water training. She has great experience of open water swimming herself and good knowledge of local swimming areas in and around Birmingham
That is about all for today’s breaking news, now to move on to the training side of things. Its been a hard week, I’m aiming to swim an hour a day during the week and in a few weeks time move up to morning and evening swimming. The time slots at the local pool are very frustrating and I can’t wait to be able to use Aston sports facilities when I’m back at uni. I’m finding the pool swimming very boring at the moment. I’m looking forward to no longer being a gold fish in a bowl and having open water to swim in! Due to the fact that on weekends you can’t swim there; I’m starting to do gym work. Overall I will be back on the daily routine again soon. In many ways I’m waiting until I’m back at uni in Birmingham, because it’s going to be so much easier to train.
Lastly I’m pleased/nervous to confirm I will be entering some open water swimming events, I think this will help myself in training over the long term. At some point over the summer holidays the team and myself are planning a trip to Great Yarmouth so I can get a good feel of swimming in the sea and also have a day together!
That’s all for this week’s blog, until next week good bye!
