"My swimming and training routine transformed during this course. Not only did my technique and pace improve, but I also really looked forward to my training. I couldn't wait to get in the pool and lake to do the sessions. On race day, I absolutely thrived and got 2nd female - I was shocked and delighted.
My swimming journey only started a few years ago. I learnt as a child, then stopped. With Catch, I've gained swim skills that I will have for the rest of my life. I'm excited to push my swimming to take part in more races and events, and I’m excited to plan my next goals!"
