Swimpigs SWIMPIGS - FLY HAPPY THROUGH WATER. Personal swim coaching under the sky Specialising in one-to-one swim coaching under the sky, it's all about you. Estd.

SWIMPIGS is inspired by the infamous pigs of the Bahamas who swim happy and free and achieve the unexpected. Individual sessions are tailored to your swim goal and instructed in-water, opening a window into your swimming above and below the surface and enabling continuous communication and coaching. GIVE WINGS TO YOUR SWIMS - My aim is to get more people loving swimming under the sky and feeling the benefit. I set out to help individuals of all ages achieve their personal swimming goal and more, from open water confidence to refining technique and skills.

* Focused sessions centred on your journey through water, from mud lovers who wannabe water hogs to ‘go-faster’ triathletes

* Moving you forward on tempo with your ambition and beyond the expected

* 'Swimming without limits' h2osophy, to get you gliding high and feeling ‘swimgood’

See it - Feel it - Do it - Love it

PASSION & EXPERIENCE - I just love swimming, year-round, especially in wild places and the cold, clear waters of west Ireland. I have immersed myself in swims that have become amazing journeys including Scilly Swim Challenge 15k, Wild Wye Swim 10.5k, Dart 10k, Bantham Swoosh 6k, and The Great Fjord Swim 4k. On 14th July 2018, I was one of the first four women ever to swim the 10k across Brandon Bay (Co. Kerry), as part of a self-organised event supporting RNLI. I have helped young swimmers to enjoy water safely for more than 15 years, and was a volunteer coach at Clevedon Amateur Swimming Club (2013-2021). SWIMPIGS Fly happy through water. June 2017 :@)

Samhain :@)
Samhain is a traditional celebration, from sunset on 31st October to sunset on 1st November, to invoke a fruitful and abundant harvest. It marks the end of the lighter half of the year (summer) and the beginning of the darker half (winter), falling about halfway between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice.

Sea temperature cooling but... :@)..be aware that wind chill has a significant impact on cold-water tolerance, even for seasoned winter swimmers, so it’s advisable to check wind speed and direction each time before swimming. And as the sun is now low in the sky, it has less strength so can’t be relied on for warmth.

Sloe berries :@)
They grow on blackthorn, a spiny tree or bush in the rose family. Sloe berries are sour fruits, high in vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium, magnesium and calcium and also contain antioxidants. They’re best known for flavouring Sloe Gin but are a versatile fruit and can be used in jams, puddings and to make cordial. The berries give their best ‘plumy’ flavour when ripe - a rich dark purple colour and are squashed easily between fingertips. It's a good sign if they've already started to drop naturally to the ground, from mid-late October.

Harvest Moon :@)
September’s full moon brings bigger spring tides from Sunday through to Tuesday. The Harvest Moon shifts to October every 4 to 5 years, because it is defined as the full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox.

Swim watch :@)
A waterproof watch is an essential piece of kit as the sea and air temperature drop. It enables you to monitor how long you're in the water. Use it to know and adapt your 'comfortable'. Don’t be tempted to stay in the water for as long as others. Cold-water tolerance is individual and can change day-to-day depending on your general wellbeing.
