First competition in 2026 - long course after winter break

Feb 22 • 🏅Wins

Yesterday, I competed in a Polish-Czech race (over 50 clubs) on a 50 m pool. I wasn't 100% ready, as we had 2 weeks of winter break plus 3 days of a school trip during which I didn't swim at all. My mindset helped a lot; I did all my rituals, breathing, and visualization, so that all worked well. I managed to set 3 PBs, and I'm happy with the results, with gold in 200 fr (2:32:94) and 3rd place among top 12 y.o. swimmers. Lesson to learn: head position in fr, , more focus on starting in back, breathing on 100 m still in progress.
