Welcome to summer, and what a start. Drizzly 15 degrees and onshore one day then 40 degrees the next- I can’t keep up! Ah well, after a quick run and swim the other day, my confidence in the water temperature is well and truly boosted and I’m looking forwards to keeping at it, last year it took me until May to don the wetsuit!

Hoping that you’re all the same, and like to keep fit and wet, I’ve put together some basics of recovery that may assist you in getting something extra out of yourself, as well as preventing any injuries that can come out of endurance swimming.  There is no shortage of Open Ocean swims coming up if you’re looking to challenge yourself. You may have chosen one, or if your keen, a few of swims like the Pt Leo Swim Classic, Anglesea Rock2Ramp, Mornington 5km Swim, Danger 1000m, Ripview Swim Classic, Lorne Pier to Pub…. and more!

I love ocean swimming, especially this time of year when the water’s starting to heat up again and the sun’s up that little bit earlier. For those that enjoy swimming regularly, you’d often find that once you’re in the water and swimming, the body frees up, breathing is easy, and everything flows. I get a kick out of seeing others enjoying this as much as possible and enjoy helping them with osteopathy so they can get out there and ‘’just keep swimming’’.
