I tried to become a pro swimmer… and accidentally challenged a British Record holder 😅🏊♀️
I’m a marathon runner (2:25 PB) with big Olympic dreams for LA 2028 but with this injury keeping me out on the roads, I’ve been living in the pool. So naturally I had a totally sensible thought: how hard can it be to become a professional swimmer?
Today I head to Loughborough to get a front row seat to Freya’s training, learn how to dive + glide without bellyflopping (pls), and then we go head-to-head in a series of challenges… including one slightly illegal secret weapon 👀
Huge thanks to Skin + Me for partnering with me on this video: link + offer at the top of the description 💛
