A Sea Swimmer in June

June discovers a new approach to front crawl and takes it into open water.
“ When I arrived I could already happily put my face in the water etc – but swimming made me breathe hard and I was ‘end-gaining’ – it was all a bit physical!!”

I came to stay at Croft Farm 2 years ago wanting to be able to swim freestyle – and to actually enjoy swimming!
I’m a runner who was going through a period of not being able to run and wanted to use swimming for cross-training purposes.   But I didn’t know how to swim front crawl, and breaststroke didn’t feel right with my knee injury.  So I came to Ian and Cheryl looking to learn how to swim for fitness… but discovered there is another way!
When I arrived I could already happily put my face in the water etc – but swimming made me breathe hard and I was ‘end-gaining’ – it was all a bit physical!!

The enjoyment benefits were immediate and enduring.

Now, two years later,  I very much enjoy swimming, so much so that I wanted to be confident enough to swim outdoors…

And that is coming into place this year – I swam in Anglesey on a yoga and wild swimming weekend. And this video was me today in a tidal pool in Cliftonville, near Margate in Kent…

Thank you for helping me to get to this place!
