Welcome to this week\u2019s weekly blog!<\/p>\n
First of all, I\u2019ll start with sponsorship. It\u2019s been hard and frustrating as it\u2019s 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\u2019s sponsor page where you can find out more about their business, which is based in Birmingham!<\/p>\n
In a week of announcements I\u2019m 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<\/p>\n
That is about all for today\u2019s breaking news, now to move on to the training side of things. Its been a hard week, I\u2019m 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\u2019t wait to be able to use Aston sports facilities when I\u2019m back at uni. I\u2019m finding the pool swimming very boring at the moment. I\u2019m 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\u2019t swim there; I\u2019m starting to do gym work. Overall I will be back on the daily routine again soon. In many ways I\u2019m waiting until I\u2019m back at uni in Birmingham, because it\u2019s going to be so much easier to train.<\/p>\n
Lastly I\u2019m 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!<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all for this week\u2019s blog, until next week good bye!<\/p>\n
