What a range 🤩
The new Energy + Electrolytes drink is so good! The berry flavour was my favourite- though mango came very close!
Can’t wait to have my next one before a workout 🥵

Freestyle Rotation 🌊
Rock your body like you’re skating down the pool 🛼
Side to side — find that rhythm and close the gaps.
Rock to the side — arm to ear, thumb to thigh 👆
Close the gap. No space to slow you down.
Now let your core do the work 💪
Whip that hip down with your abs —
and feel the shoulder drive forward.
That’s not just rotation. That’s power from the centre out.

🥷💨 Breathe like a ninja on a skewer.
Quick like a ninja. Straight like a skewer.
Most swimmers lose their rhythm because their breath is slow, late, or their whole body tilts to grab it. Here’s the fix:
🥷 Breathe quick — like a ninja. Don’t linger.
🍢 Stay on the skewer — roll to breathe, but keep everything in one straight, strong line. Head, hips, toes — aligned.
When your breath is fast and your body stays long through the rotation, it stops breaking your rhythm and you’ll feel smoother.
Try it this week and let me know what you notice 👇

👀 Freestyle beginners — where are you looking? 🏊
One of the easiest ways to smoother freestyle is to check your head position. Keep your eyes on the floor and lengthen through the neck — this helps your body find that horizontal line in the water and cuts down on drag.
Think of it like this: imagine a rope coming out the top of your head, pulling you straight to the end of the pool. That’s the position you’re after. ✨
It takes some getting used to, and that’s completely normal — so trust the process and be patient with yourself. Focus on relaxing the neck and letting your gaze drop down to the bottom of the pool.
Small adjustment, big difference. 💧
Save this if you’re working on your technique, and drop a 🙋♀️ below if head position is something you struggle with!
