Torpedo Swimtalk Masters Swimming

Everyone needs someone to look at their stroke and point out what we can do better 😃 I was lucky enough to have that experience with one of the best this morning Ash Delaney

Let’s just say, there is a lot to fine tune!!! 😂

Starting a new training block today, and reminding myself that I’m not training just to maintain what I’ve got or be better in the gym 😃

My goal is to get stronger, more powerful and ultimately faster in the water, with the big goal of Budapest ‘27 on the horizon 🏊‍♀️

The gym isn’t the destination. It’s one part of building the swimmer I want to be in the water 💪🏊‍♀️

Always trying to refine what I am doing 😃 Still learning. Still building. Still chasing faster 🏊‍♀️

The Noosa week that was ☀️🏊‍♀️ 🏋🏻‍♀️ 🌊🐬🐳🩵💙🤩😍

Packing so much in to our time here and loving every minute of it 🫶

This is why I love open water swimming 💙🩵 🌊

No lane ropes or clock ⏰
Just a sunrise, the ocean and a group of people who all decided that getting up before dawn was somehow a good idea ☀️ 🏊‍♀️

It’s funny how the hardest part is usually getting out of bed. After that, everything else seems to fall into place 💜🩷

Laguna Bay Stats:
Water temp: 20C
Water conditions: 9/10 flat behind the break, enjoyable to swim and catch a few little rolling waves in
Session: 10/10 ins and outs and lots of tempo and threshold
Crew: 10/10 Noosa Tri Club
Water Clarity: 8/10 bit cloudy

Noosa, you’re making it very hard to leave 🌊☀️

And so continues my exploration of pools on the Sunshine Coast ☀️Happy to have a chance to swim at the University of Sunshine Coast, 50m outdoor heated pool 🏊‍♀️ Home pool of backstroke 🐐 Kaylee McKeown

Pool Stats:
Water Temp: 27C nice to swim in
Session verdict: 10/10 enjoyed the variety Coach Jake set for the crew, from an 800 time trial to explosive 15m
Pool mechanics: 10/10 - lane ropes top quality and nice and smooth to swim in
Squad friendliness: 10/10 ❤️ very welcoming

Only negative - the sun was fully up in the sky and very hard to do backstroke

Another gorgeous day exploring the Sunshine Coast ☀️💙

Today it was up Mount Coolum - steep, rocky and plenty of stairs, but absolutely worth it for those views from the top! ⛰️🌊

I am loving all the walking and hiking while we’re here in Noosa. There is something pretty special about heading out on foot, finding a new trail and seeing where it takes you. Beach walks, national park trails, mountain climbs… I’ll happily take them all 😃

Swimming will always be my first love, but I have to say, this is a pretty good way to spend a winter too 🫶

Ten weeks up here is starting to feel like a very good idea. ☀️😃
