Yesterday TWHST took the Moors League by storm.

Thank you to the coaches, volunteers, parents and of course the swimmers!

A great afternoon of swimming against strong competition - everyone pushing each other while supporting each other.

Waves made. Records broken. Horsepower unleashed.

Even on warm, sunny days, water temperatures can remain dangerously low. 💙

Cold water shock can happen in seconds, causing an involuntary gasp, loss of breathing control and panic. This sudden reaction makes it much harder to stay calm and keep yourself safe.

Studies show that people’s ability to swim in cold water is significantly reduced compared to swimming in a warm pool, meaning even confident swimmers can quickly struggle.

Understanding these risks can make all the difference. Taking a moment to prepare and knowing how your body may react could help save your life.

Cold water can be from the temperature of a swimming pool and below.

This weekend of racing needs positive voices, calm encouragement, and a poolside atmosphere that lifts our swimmers up rather than weighs them down.

Every cheer, every smile, every “you’ve got this” makes a difference. Spectators set the tone — and our swimmers feel it.

When our swimmers step up behind the blocks, they’re not just racing the clock — we want them to know they’re racing with the strength of a whole team and a whole community behind them.

Horse power. Wave power. Your power.
