Hi there,
Earlier this week I sat down with a small group of swimmers and asked a question I’ve been sitting with myself: what feels sustainable right now?
“I used to wear a watch to track my times and distance in practice — but I realized I had to take it off. Not because the data was wrong, but because I was stuck in comparing today to yesterday.”
The watch wasn’t measuring progress anymore. It was measuring disappointment.
That’s not a swimming problem.
If you’re not already following along on Substack, this week I wrote about the stories we carry into the water — and what it actually takes to change them. Next week I’m turning this conversation into something bigger — a piece on what sustainability actually looks like when you stop optimizing and start paying attention.
In the meantime: if any of this is nudging you to actually get in the water (or back in, or more consistently in), I’m offering $10 off any service — clinic, private session in person or online — booked before Saturday with code CONNECT10. February ends this weekend and so does the discount.
More soon,
