40 The past year of swimming training has certainly had its challenges. Lockdown greatly affected our ability to complete any swimming training, as sports centres were shut down resulting in us having no access to pools. However, thanks to technology, my personal experience was that through school and my own club, I stayed connected with my coaches and other swimmers.We managed to maintain our fitness through other methods of exercise, such as running or workout sessions which we completed on Zoom with both Brentwood School and my club. Maintaining my fitness would have definitely been a challenge without the support and resources supplied by them. Although we still struggled when coming back to swimming, everyone quickly regained their fitness and it is great to see that competitions are starting up and people are seeing success in the pool once again.
