## Resource

In this week’s episode we reflect on a brilliant community beach promenade tidy-up, where we tackled a huge amount of sand build-up, a real team effort and such a rewarding way to give back. We then dive into the idea of racing to failure, how easy it is to rush progress in training, and why taking your time is key to avoiding injury, improving technique and building long-term strength in the water. Our Drill of the Moment is the Torpedo, a fantastic exercise to help improve balance, streamline and core engagement, essential for a more efficient swim. To finish, our Tell It to the Sea moments are filled with some truly lovely and memorable experiences from the week, the kind that remind us why we love what we do. Tune in for community, coaching insights and plenty of sea-filled reflections. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts ⭐ Like, rate & review to help more swimmers find us 💬 Got questions or drill requests?
