  • I try not to eat before I swim. In the morning I would eat breakfast after swimming. If I swim in the evening I try to have my dinner afterwards. But sometimes it can be too late and so I have a light meal 2 hours before a swim and another light snack after my swim. It affects my performance if I swim straight after eating…

  • The only way I have found to do it, apart from manually, is to link Swimtag to Strava and then Strava to MFP

  • I started swimming again after a 15 year break about 3 years ago. My first venture into the pool was rather harrowing, I went late at night, when it wasn't very busy and not many people would see the size of me! LOL That first night I did eight lengths of breastroke, stopping after each length to get my breath back. I had…

  • Hi Holly, I have swam in the Great London Swim which is an open water mile. My time last year was 41min 46secs. The website says the average swimmer should do it in around 40 mins. I am 54. I am hoping to do it in under 40 mins this year....I don't mind what time as long as it is under 39mins 59 secs!

  • I am hoping to complete the Great London Swim in front crawl this year. I have done it in breaststroke on my previous two swims, but I too have envied the seemingly effortless freestyle stroke of some swimmers. I joined a local triathlon group and we are coached in the pool weekly. It has helped me considerably and last…

  • Good morning Ladies.... I am new to this site and really am looking for new friends and support. I have over the past 18 months lost 65 lbs but still have a little way to go. I have found myself recently putting back on some of the weight, but have tried to nip it in the bud, hence my joining this site. Up until now my…
