Swim with H

Sighting when open water swimming 🏊🏽‍♂️

Even the largest waves began as small ripples 🌊 Every day we’re presented with chances and choices. And it’s not the opportunities themselves that define us… it’s the choices we make ✨ Are we doing the things that move us closer to our goals? Are we choosing a path that will help us grow into who we want to become? 💫 Because it’s the consistent, quiet decisions that make the difference. And though these little choices might feel tiny in the moment, over time those 1° shifts all add up 🏊🏼 So keep choosing well. Keep choosing growth. And keep choosing the path that pulls you to where you want to go 💙 And if it ever feels like your small choices aren’t adding up, remember… every big wave started as a ripple. 🩲 swimwear by @arenainternational 📷 drone by @notjameshaw #Swimming #MarathonSwimming #MotivationMonday #Mindset #SmallStepsBigResults #OpenWater #YouVsYou #ChaseProgress #ConsistencyIsKey #MakingWaves

This guy is totally in agreement with my teaching methods. Enjoy.

Every single swimmer, from beginner to elite, has at least one element of their freestyle stroke that can be refined and improved ➡️ https://bit.ly/3H6exFj

Currently I am looking for a venue for teaching swimming and aqua classes.

If anyone can point me in a good direction, I will appreciate this.

Location: The East Midlands, UK.

Thank you

Just glide 😁🤩

Keeping your hand elevated above the water during the recovery phase minimizes resistance and enables you to achieve greater distance with each stroke. We frequently advise our swimmers to propel their arm forcefully down the pool, not hesitating to create a big splash upon entry. This technique not only decreases drag by preventing the hand from moving forward underwater, but it also compels the shoulders to rotate, enhancing the swimmer's coupling energy. Remember, the farther your hand enters the water, the faster you will be! https://buff.ly/aZwxP0z

Great reminder and a good advice, and if you need a refresher course in either of the skils, just react here, and I will contact you. 🏊🏼‍♀️🏊🏼‍♂️ Stay safe and keep your family safe seaside. 💦🌊

🌊 Rip Currents & Swim Safety: Know What to Do 🏊‍♂️

Rip currents are powerful, narrow channels of water that can pull even the strongest swimmers away from shore. They are a leading cause of rescues at the beach.

If you are caught in a rip current:
✅ Don’t fight the current – stay calm and conserve energy.
✅ Swim parallel to the shore to escape the current, then swim back to the beach at an angle.
✅ If you can’t escape, float or tread water and wave for help.

Swim Safety Tips:

- Always swim near a lifeguard.

- Never swim alone.

- Check beach conditions before entering the water.

- Keep a close watch on children and inexperienced swimmers.

🚨 Remember: Break the Grip of the Rip – knowing what to do can save your life.

LIFELONG BENEFITS OF SWIMMING
This decline in swimming lessons is happening despite our research highlighting that many of us find swimming more useful in our adult lives than other subjects like science, computing, and even s*x education.

Furthermore, for parents, it’s clear that swimming is a highly valued skill.

They overwhelmingly ranked swimming (56%) above other life skills like cooking (54%), cleaning (41%), DIY (27%), and even first aid (51%) as the most important for their children. Only budgeting comes out on top as “very important” for children’s future with 64%.

Parents believe that swimming is so important because it’s not only a fun activity to keep their children healthy and active—it’s also a vital life-saving skill. When planning family holidays, especially those involving water activities, knowing their kids can swim gives parents peace of mind.

In fact, one of the biggest worries for parents during the summer holidays is the fear that their child could drown, with 71% of parents admitting to this concern. It beats other potential issues such as allergic reactions, catching an illness, getting sunburn or getting food poisoning.
