• Big picture plans in the pool and sea

  Ian and Dee give a bit of detail around how they plan the year as a coach and as a swimmer. Ian was racing again this time the kingfisher prom swim James Brennan matching his record of having his name on the bullet three times, the bullet is the prize for fastest time in this swim.Dee had a quick turn around on a visit to west cork to crew for Oonagh Morrissey who had an eventful but very much a successful swim to fastnet rock. Big celebrations in Galway this week also as John Shortt is front page news, arriving home from the world junior swimming championships in Romania with two gold medals and a bronze, making him only the second Irish swimmer to be a world junior champion and we are exceptionally proud of him.

• Swim smarter… sight straighter… finish strong

  Dees injury continues to dominate the conversation, but hopefully that’s coming to an end now that she’s introduced oxygeneration to the recovery programme. Ian gave a few tips on how to train for speed on shorter open water swims and we have yet to see how his own advice might help his own performance. music as always by Enda Gallery Hosted on Acast.

• Taper to nationals, north channel window and false bay chats

  Dee and Ian catch up on a few busy weeks which saw Ian spend 5 days poolside at the NAC for nationals with bluefin SC, both supported the Galway bay swim finish and Dee tried not to wonder how her NC window might have been had she not taken a notion for hill running and broken her leg.When Dee says decent respectable times about this NC window it’s important to point out that she means that as a time she would like for herself and a time she thinks she could manage, aware that her previous longest swim to date is just under 15 hrs and her last effort on the north channel was around the 14 hr mark.Dee also mentioned a temp of 13 for False Bay towards the end of the episode when her swim temp was 18 and she is not yet so good a producer that she can edit that out.As always thank you for listening and send any questions or comments to [email protected] @sheswimsheswimsThanks as always to Enda Gallery for the music Hosted on Acast.
