A lovely message from a previous client. Massive congratulations to Simon Norris for such an amazing achievement.

Hi Kim,

Not sure if you remember me but you taught me TI about 6-7 years ago, at the time I couldn’t swim 25m without stopping

Just wanted to share with you that I swam the WOW21 Windermere (11miles) in 9hrs and 9mins yesterday with my son, Ben paddling the whole distance on the kayak to keep me safe and providing me with support and encouragement during the tough times.

Had a really tough spell between 6 to 7 hours in with my right arm but necked some painkillers and made like ‘Dory’ and just kept swimming till the top end.

So I should probably come back and get the technique sorted ! 🤦‍♂️😆

Thank you for teaching me a life skill that has become such a positive thing in my life.

Cheers
Simon

Merry Christmas to you all. A very different celebration this year to the one I am used to, without family and friends.
Best wishes for a much better 2021!
Keep well everyone.

When you are about to swim in the river and a walnut floats by.. you remember Terry Laughlin’s words.....and a focal point springs to mind! Thanks Kate Taylor for the photo.

I have shared this before but it’s a very interesting read....

More on the subject of relaxed hands and finger spacing: here is a piece written by TI Coach James Ewart for Outdoor Swimmer magazine.
Fingers in relaxed hands tend to be spaced 2mm to 4mm apart and this creates up to 53% more surface area and hold on the water as vortices are created between the fingers preventing water from getting through the gaps.

Thanks to Stephen Maloney for agreeing to share his Channel Swim story with us. There’s some very useful insights here if you’re thinking of taking the plunge.

An amazing achievement for someone who says he is not a serious swimmer..... we beg to differ. 👏👏👏
