♣️ 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 👇

🎁 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.

📵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?"

THE ONE COMPETITION I WAITED THE WHOLE YEAR!
This competition was the one I’d been waiting for the entire year, and how I’d crush all of my favourite swims with new pbs…although that was only a dream. Sadly, it did not go as planned and it totally backfired (I mean, in the individual races), let me talk you more. Sometimes when I’ve done an individual race like the 100m fly, and it turned out bad, always when I have a chance again to swim at a relay, I crush everyone. I mean, it’s obviously mentally that I do not want to disappoint the team and that I’d want my revenge for the last bad swim, but I would like that to be how I’d be thinking ALL THE TIME, not just in relays. It’s not like in every single relay I pb’d, I did on one and I’ll talk about it in a sec, but just how much I was willing to go out of my comfort zone and fight for that reward at the end (a medal, in this case, I did win a🥈). I think the most exciting and the most proud swim I’ve done is on the last day, where I competed in the 4^50m free. I was the last one, so I had to give it my best to secure a place! So, what did I do? I pb’d in the relay. And that was the 50m free time that I’ve wanted so long, it is a 29.! I’ve been struggling to go under 30s in so long, and I finally did, but I’m a little sad that it was not counted. What I’m a little stressed about too is that I know I can do my 29., but what if o do not succeed in the next competition coming up this weekend? (Sorry, I forgot to mention that I have ONE more competition before I’m free to go to Romania for the summer and relax). I REALLY ABSOLUTELY WANT to do better at this competition, even if it is literally this weekend and basically right after the other big competition. I have decided to do these races: the 50m, 100m, and 200m fly, and then the 50m, and 100m free. I’ll be training hard for this weekend because I want to succeed, I want to start the summer break on good terms, and it’s basically after just relax and seeing family. I think I’ve covered everything, have a good day you all! Xxxx 💖🫰☺️
The "She's Just Not a Racer" Trap (and How It Quietly Caps Your Swimmer)
There's a sentence you've said about your kid so often it feels like a fact. It's not. And it might be their ceiling. You know the kind almost every swim parent has said: "She's just not a natural." "He doesn't have the killer instinct." "She's a trainer, not a racer." "He's just not built for distance." There's a line I love: "We question all of our beliefs.. except the ones we truly believe. And those, we never think to question." That sentence about your kid is one of those. You've repeated it 400 times, so it stopped feeling like an opinion and started feeling like a fact. It is not a fact. It's a belief. I saw this nailed in, of all places, a marketing email. Business owners love to say "my market is saturated" as the reason they can't grow. The point: that's just an excuse, because it lives OUTSIDE your control.. so there's nothing you can do about it. The fix is to reframe it into something INSIDE your control. Suddenly there's a move to make. Same with your kid. "She's not a racer" lives outside your control. Dead end. Reframe it: "I haven't figured out what makes HER want to race yet." Now you've got something to work with. "He doesn't have the killer instinct" becomes "we haven't found the thing he's competitive about yet." The belief you never question becomes the ceiling you never raise. So let's poke one today: what's a belief about your swimmer you've been treating as a fact.. that you're willing to question? Say it out loud below. That's the first crack in the ceiling. Onwards. David & Co ☺️
