Today, the roles were reversed!
A playful sea lion became my coach—reminding me to stay curious, be present, have fun and never stop exploring.

One hour. 4 km of work.🏊‍♂️
Tonight’s squad reminded us that endurance is not built in comfort — it’s built in consistency, courage, and the willingness to keep moving when the body starts negotiating.☺️

Anzac Day, we honour those who served, and who continue to serve.
We started at dawn at Mentone Beach, Black Line Fever community swimmers came together as one. In the stillness of sunrise, with respect and reflection, we showed up—to honour those who served and sacrificed.
Lest we forget

These are the moments. These are the memories. These are the sunrises that stay with us.

From the coaches’ side, a massive respect to every one of you who made the effort to drive in and be there. That level of commitment speaks volumes about our community, our values, and the culture we continue to build together. 

Thank you all for being part of something truly special.

“I’m pretty fit… so why do my legs drop the moment I breathe?”

I hear this all the time.
Strong runners. Powerful cyclists. Disciplined swimmers who do everything right—yet when they hit the water, something feels off.
At first, it feels good. Smooth stroke. Controlled pace.
Then you take a breath…
And everything changes.

Your hips sink.
Your kick works overtime.
Your heart rate spikes.

So you push harder. Swim more. Add distance.
But it doesn’t fix it.Because it’s not a fitness problem.

It’s a balance problem.

When breathing disrupts your body position, everything downstream starts compensating—and that’s where efficiency is lost!

THE BALANCE TRIANGLE
Balance during breathing depends on three anchors:
• Head position
• Leading arm support
• Body stack (hip & shoulder alignment)
BIGGER PICTURE
Freestyle skill is layered
When the lower layer breaks, everything above compensates… so fix the foundation first—build a strong, balanced base, and your freestyle will follow effortlessly.🏊‍♂️☺️💪🏼
