• Does social media help or hinder motivation

  Ian remains consistent in his pool and sea training but took on an art class this week as something different.Dee managed to get a very small swim in off the Cliffs of Moher and it feels more exciting than a big channel swim. We planned to speak about motivation but ended up talking about it really in the context of social media and the positives and negatives that go with it. Congratulations to Brian Foster who became the first to complete the Irish triple crown with swims all completed as multiples with his double North Channel, triple Fastnet and double Galway Bay.

• Mass start mayhem and minding yourself

  The weekly round up included the last Heskin league swim which has a twist, a mass start and the handicaps are only published once swimmers have set off.Spoiler alert… Ian came second male skin.With the seasons changing and routines changing, Dee and Ian talk about their top 5 things they consider important to keep them well and ready to swim.It’s clear neither are vegetarians with both wondering what is quorn… google tells us “Created in 1983, Quorn is the trademarked name given to a meat substitute called mycoprotein. This plant-based protein is derived from a natural microfungus called Fusarium Venenatum.”Contact us @sheswimsheswims on instagram and [email protected] to Enda Gallery for the music Hosted on Acast.
