Oscar's Everyone Day
Sunday 23rd June 2024In 2021 Oscar the Grouch proposed one day each year where "we unite as a community and EVERYONE records an activity of some sort - a dog walk, a run, a swim, a ride, ski if you want...".
Sadly we lost Oscar in March, so I'd like to dedicate Everyone Day to him. Thank you for the inspiration you gave us Oscar.

What, all of it? Not up to speed with the open water swim world at all. What's the Coniston event and how far are you going to be swimming there? Oh, and obviously I agree with LindsD. |

Coniston is 5.25 miles end to end which is hopefully what I will end up doing.

Blimey Charlie! Well that explains why you’d do what you did! Anyway, you’ll be fine. You’ve got this. Long way, though.😬 |

Yep. I would be doing quite a bit less without the event looming.

Thanks Daz, let's hope more monitoring does lead to cleaner water. KatieB, fantastic training and good luck for the 3hr swim and Coniston! Had my first swimming lesson in a couple of months this morning (marathon taper and recovery got in the way) and it was fab - lots of drills and then a lovely moment at the end when it all came together and felt stronger and smoother through the water. My next few swims will be repeats of all the drills and an attempt to reproduce it and make it a permanent improvement! |

Two new swimming badges today! 600m and 800m. Earnt them as I did my first ever 1km swim. Delighted to have realised that 40 lengths of the pool is doable. Hopefully the first of many. Recently 500m has been my longest (probably also longest ever) and regular distance. Today it felt like I had plenty left after the 500m so just kept going. Delighted!
