REMEMBER, HOWEVER UNPREPARED YOU ARE, THERE WILL ALMOST ALWAYS BE SOMEONE WHO’S DONE EVEN LESS THAN YOU
Firstly, don’t panic! Clearly, it’s less than ideal to have an upcoming outdoor swim that you haven’t trained for but it doesn’t mean you can’t do the event and have a great time. Remember, however unprepared you are, there will almost always be someone who’s done even less than you. For a start, you’ll have had the advantage of reading this! In a perfect world, you’ll have booked your swim six months in advance and followed a progressive, structured training programme under the guidance of a sympathetic and motivational coach. In reality, this almost never happens.
