@TeamGB And swimming? We do have world champions there

World champions ✅ Record breakers ✅ Paris potential ✅ It's fair to say that August has been pretty kind to our athletes 🙌

Today marked the 1st World Drowning Prevention event to ever be hosted by a Head of Government. At the Prime Ministers Office, Number 10 Downing Street, The Black Swimming Association (BSA) was honoured to be at the centre of this groundbreaking day of major significance for water safety and drowning prevention. Who would have thought that 3 years ago when Seren Jones, Danielle Obe, Alice Dearing and myself cofounded the BSA, it would lead us here🙏🏾 Massive thanks to all our partners and to everyone who has supported us along this journey. Together, let’s continue to save lives👊🏾 #ourswimstory #WorldDrowningPreventionDay #cantbewhatyoucantsee #bcstheconvo

@pullbuoy Guess that’s what happens when there isn’t a Starter either

An observation on this mock up...Lanes 1 and 8 have clearly done flyers and lanes 3 and 7 need to work on their reaction times (and stop doing grab starts). Lane 7 doesn't even seem to have taken their marks!

💬 "The breadth of organisations who have joined forces to send such a clear message to government demonstrates the important role pools and leisure centres play" Today we join more than 200 signatories in an urgent plea to @RishiSunak for greater support. More ⤵️ #SaveOurPools

@MJGold Swimming, cycling, rowing, skiing - all time- based sports and the athletes measure themselves against the clock as well as the competitors

The gold for ‘Best innovation’ is claimed by @Freestyle and @cimspa. Amazing work! #DIAwards

Congratulations to @Freestyle #Güntner, @InvestisDigital @pearson, @iodigital_com @damen, @bladonmore @UNITEGroup, @landg_uk! #DIAwards

@MJGold Interesting to compare that with @adam_peaty dominance in 100m Breaststroke. @pullbuoy can help with the detail.

Ridiculous!

If you’ve experienced the unfortunate combination of lactic acid build up and oxygen deficit, how would you describe it for those fortunately unfamiliar?
