To some, the thought of spending 12 months training for an Ironman is crazy.

To some, the thought of waking up at 4am to train before work is would never happen.

To some, the thought of sacrificing a weekend to do a long training session is unimagineble.

The mindset of an Ironman, of a triathlete, is different. It’s the willingness to keep showing up and doing the unglamorous work, day after day, long before you ever see the payoff.

We see you grinding in silence, pushing through pain.

3 days out until you meet you come face to face with the dragon, until you meet your potential head on.

Let’s go!

Celebrating 6 months of Swim Labs 🥳

We can’t believe how quick the time has gone and how much we’ve grown in that period.

It started off with an endless pool and mostly open swim sessions, to now having a full calendar and a dominant coaching team.

In that time, we welcomed coaches Kris, Gavin, Leah, Megan, and most recently, Phil and Jess. We also...

💫 launched Swim School with Leah and then Megan
💫 had our first ladies night with ATG Tri Club
💫 attended fundraisers in aid of water safety
💫 hosted a funded swim session for children of Spectrum Hub
💫 launched our daytime coffee club
💫 welcomed the Blue Tit 5 channel team
💫 launched an over 60’s swim club
💫 welcomed our 100th swimmer
..plus more.

There’s a lot more to come, but once again, we extend our huge thanks and gratitude to those who have visited and make Swim Labs part of their routine 💙

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🐉 It’s Ironman week!

Months of early mornings, long swims, long rides, planning and sacrifices have all led to this.

This is when the feelings of terror and excitement meet - we know that feeling well.

Whatever race day brings, remember, you’ve already done the hard part. You showed up tired, you showed up sore, you showed up wondering why the hell you even started...but you showed up!

Tenby’s not far now. We’re proud of every one of you toeing the line on Sunday.

Go smash it 💙

🧸 Nervous around the water?

Does your child feel nervous when it comes to swimming?

You’re definitely not alone. 💙

For some children, the water can feel like a completely different world. Putting their face under, letting go of the wall or floating independently can feel like a HUGE achievement.

That’s why patience is so important.

We don’t believe in rushing swimmers through skills they’re not ready for. Instead, we work with them, build trust and gradually introduce new challenges when they’re comfortable.

Sometimes progress is slow.

Sometimes one tiny achievement can completely change their confidence.

And then suddenly… they’re swimming! 🏊‍♀️✨

If your child needs a little extra encouragement and support in the water, we’d love to help them build that confidence.

🎉🏊‍♀️ SUMMER INTENSIVE COMPLETE! 🏊‍♂️🎉

A huge well done to Seb & Evie for completing their 3-day Summer Intensive Course at The Swim Labs! 💙

🌟 Seb came into the course confident in the water but was still learning the full stroke and technique. In just three days, he can now swim 5 metres fully independently, and we’re already working on his breathing to the side! What amazing progress! 👏🏼

🌟 Evie has made such a huge improvement in confidence! She’s learned how to breathe to the side, swim for longer distances and is now so close to our 25-metre goal! 🏊‍♀️💗

Both of you have worked incredibly hard, listened, practised and most importantly — had fun in the water! 🥰

I’m so proud of how far you’ve both come in just three days. Keep practising, keep believing and keep enjoying the water! 💦⭐️

Well done Seb & Evie! 🏆💙

💙 A SKILL FOR LIFE 🏊‍♀️

Swimming isn’t just another after-school activity.

It’s a skill your child can carry with them for the rest of their life. 🌊

From learning how to feel comfortable and safe in the water, to developing the confidence to swim independently, every lesson is another step towards becoming a stronger and more confident swimmer.

Sometimes progress looks like swimming a full length.

Sometimes it’s putting your face underwater for the first time.

Sometimes it’s simply getting into the pool without feeling nervous.

Every milestone matters. 💙

So, if your child hasn’t started swimming yet this summer, or they’re ready to take their next step, there’s still time!

📩 Get in touch with MJ Swim School and let’s make this summer one to remember! ☀️🏊‍♀️

💦 Friends, fun & new skills!

Swimming lessons should be about more than just counting lengths. 💙

They’re about the excitement of learning something new, the confidence that comes from achieving something you couldn’t do before and the memories made along the way. 🏊‍♀️✨

For children especially, creating a positive relationship with the water from a young age can make such a huge difference.

At MJ Swim School, we want our swimmers to look forward to their lessons, feel comfortable asking questions, celebrate their achievements and — most importantly — HAVE FUN! 🥳

From learning those very first swimming skills to becoming a confident and capable swimmer, every child’s journey is different.

And we’re here to support them every step of the way. 💙

Because yes, we’re here to teach swimming…

…but we’re also here to build confidence, create happy memories and help children fall in love with the water. 🌊🏊‍♂️
