At the start of lockdown, I had a Jacuzzi Swim Spa set up in my garden. It’s like a treadmill for swimmers. You’re tethered in place and swim against the current, adjusting the resistance to increase or decrease the challenge. I was out of a pool for 16 weeks, so that set-up was a huge asset.
When I first returned to the pool it was hard – I’d pretty much forgotten how to swim in one! But as the technique returned I actually came back stronger. I competed again at the Manchester International meet in February and posted some really good times.
