Cracking few days in Barmouth, Wales for the Level Water Hurly Burly event, a tide-assisted 10k swim upstream in increasingly colder water. Followed it up with a parkrun too. Great event, brilliant company, fantastic weekend.
Big thanks to Cathryn, Mark, Ben, Alex and Alex for the company and levelwateruk for the drone pics

Nice wee swim at yesterday. Just over 3.5k in 14c water. I think that’s my favourite temperature - cold, but not too cold, where it’s a race against time. Good rewards afterwards, once the judders had ceased.

Now planning tomorrow’s CamSwimCo Monday Swim Club’s session. As it’s the first Monday of the month, it’s gonna be a set focused on sprints. Perfect for the cooler temperatures!

Without even a breath, autumn has hit hard. Longer, colder nights. Summer now seems so long ago and winter looms. Water was still lovely. A toasty(ish) 14c the other day.

Thirteen years ago. Balmaha Pier. Gale force winds. Looking out on Inchcailloch, and the channel to its left we ended up swimming.

It was wetter and colder and windier than it looks. But the swim was fantastic and from then on I was hooked (if I wasn’t already).

We said ae fond farewell to our campervan this week. Sorry to see it go after so many (but never enough) adventures. Here’s one beautiful memory of a gorgeous sunrise when we visited Ardnamurchan.

Join us for the Sunday Swim Club at

Each week we remove the lane ropes, chuck in a couple of buoys and create an amazing open water training pool. Every session is different, with. Mix of fitness, technique and open water swimming drills.

This week the focus is on arms. We’ll be starting with some catch exercises before progressing to some single arm drills to try to get more power into each stroke. Probably throw in a few longer, faster swims too. Book via the Cambridge Swimming Company
