🎁 FREE ACADEMY TRAINING: How to Start a Swim Camp So It Actually Changes You
***UPDATE*** Recording is uploaded and available for everyone below. Enjoy! Change in plans today as we're going to live-stream the Academy training directly from Mallorca with the Swimpros who are on camp right now. The training is 2 hours earlier than usual (and yep, it's recorded) and available for everyone in the Skool group. Read this real quick: 2 swimmers go to the same camp and do the exact same sets. One comes home transformed. The other just comes home tired. What separates them is decided before they ever dive in… Tonight we're breaking down exactly what to do in the first hours of a performance camp so the entire 10 days compound instead of just happening to you. Here's what we cover live: 👉 The first-morning move that decides what you take home 👉 Why chasing your times at camp quietly makes you slower 👉 How to know on day 1 exactly what you'll leave with 👉 The reason the swimmer who recovers hardest improves the most 👉 The questions that make a world-class coach pour into you 👉 How to come home transformed from any swim camp (also with your regular team) This special call is available for everybody!! Join us live in here: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/2906319395 Today at 5pm Zürich (4pm UK) time. Pic: Badass shot of @Lara Umegbolu before her 50m freestyle race on New Years camp. PS: We're going to pause the Gatorade Half-Hour until summer camps so we can come up with alternatives together during camp.

♣️ Who's thinking about changing clubs for next year??
I'm curious please vote below. Depending on the votes, Yul and I might be running a special training for swimmers and parents who want to switch to another club. We have been part of many successful transitions and we know what to do (and what to avoid!!) to find a great team & coach. Vote HERE 👇

📵Swimpros Presents: THE NO-NAG METHOD (rules to join, read carefully)
The No-Nag Method -> Get your swimmer off the phone without the war. Yes, you know exactly what I'm talking about... Whether you just watched my video or you're finding this in the group for the first time, you're in exactly the right place. Read this once and you'll know exactly what we're doing, why it works, and the one thing to do today. 🔥 What this is A short challenge (kicks off the last week of June, right here in the group) where we get your competitive teen swimmer (12+) off the phone without nagging, without confiscating, without being the bad guy. I run it with you. You, me, and your swimmer. You just follow the steps and show up. 📲 Why we don't just take the phone away After about 13, strict phone rules don't just stop working, they backfire... a teenager is wired to push back against being controlled, so every rule becomes the next thing they rebel against. It was never that you weren't trying hard enough. So we do the opposite: stop policing the kid, start changing the conditions. The 3 moves (the whole method): 1️⃣ Clear the Lane Change the environment, not the kid. Three screen-free zones (phone charges outside the bedroom, screen-free dinner, screen-free hour before bed). Most of the nightly battle just disappears. 2️⃣ Sign the Line Your swimmer says, in their own words, why this helps their swimming, picks what they'll do instead, and signs a simple agreement they actually own. When it's their idea, it sticks. This is the engine. 3️⃣ Keep the Splits Track it like a race: screen time, sleep, morning energy. They log it, watch the numbers move, and it becomes a game they want to win. What to expect Short daily steps in this group, each quick and clear. Better sleep, sharper mornings at the pool, fewer fights.... and a swimmer who's CHOOSING it. I'll be right here the whole way. Your first step 👉 Today (3 min): ONE conversation with your swimmer. Relaxed moment, phones away (yours too), then ask: "What's a goal you have in swimming that you've never really told me about?"

Comeback competition after a short break
On Saturday I had my first outdoor competition. This was also my first competition since I took a short break after regionals 6 weeks ago. The conditions were everything but perfect - bad blocks, 38 degrees and no cooldown pool. I still gave my best and overall quite happy with my results. First I had the 50 free. This was the first time I raced the 50 free this year. Felt terrible the first 25 and was also quite slow. Came back on the second half and found a good rhythm so I finished only .08 off my PB that I swam fully tapered. Next I had the 200 back: honestly it felt really good and I also swam my fastest 2nd 100 ever with 1:15.0 but was out way to slow in 1:12.8 so I was miles away from my PB. After a short lunchbreak I had the 100 fly. Honestly this event was my main focus for the day and it went pretty good. I changed my breathing-rhythm and pulling-technique after nationals in April and this was the second time I had the chance to try it out. Everything went well and I didn’t even feel like I was completely dying in the end. Had my fastest back-half ever. For me the main reason for this is my better underwaters. Attached a video. I’m in lane 4 with the silver cap. My last race was the 100 back. The same problem from the 200 appeared again. Splits were closer together than ever before but I was lacking the top-speed. So I went PB +4 The 100s of course were brutal because it was the hottest day of the year so far and I was completely stressed and dehydrated. Also not enough time to eat because I was coaching at the same time. I know that’s not an excuse but for me it was totally worth it - two of my kids (age 12 and 13) broke our team records in the 800 free LC. Maybe I’ll try to beat the male record next season Sorry for the long post guys😬
