Our little superstar moved up to Lane 2 and got his 10m backstroke swimming badge tonight which means he can now compete in galas. I tried backstroke at the weekend and you forget how hard it is to get a good technique so kudos to him!

No.3 on my list of favourite south coast beaches. When you finally make it to the viewpoint, it’s kind of a standard Guernsey thing to just stop and have a good look at the beauty of it then head down and find a spot.

I gave up on my cliff adventure because I genuinely felt like I was putting myself in danger, mainly due to the 50mph+ winds and driving rain. Stopped off at the Bathing Pools on the way home to see this hero going for a casual snorkel round Havelet.

I take my hat off to any open water swimmer but especially during the autumn and winter months. I know how good you feel when you’ve been in the sea but I’ll just have a sit down shower and pretend it’s tropical rain.

My days of Ibiza pool parties are in the past, now it’s friend and kids pool parties at Grandpa’s house.

The stunning rocky shores of Moulin Huet. Low tide reveals an amazing sandy beach, rivaled only by Petit Port around the corner.

Left the house with little time to plan anything this morning. You can always rely on the Bathing Pools to fill in the gaps.

Treated the kids to a dip + dine at Saints Bay Hotel today. Whilst the grounds could do with some TLC, the pool was like a bath and the food was really tasty too.

Another stunning and warm day on the rock. Managed a nice trip out west at lunchtime, just wish I’d had by swimming gear with me.

So proud of my little monkey’s. Finley brought home a gold medal in his first ever gala and Alana swept up two silvers in the girls 9 years. Treated them with a trip to the cinema to watch Toy Story 4 (which is amazing by the way)

Super proud of Alana for gaining her 200 metres badge this morning. She handled all the strokes like a pro and these little steps really boost a child’s confidence in the water.

I admire anyone who does open water swimming at this time of year. I’m more of a June to August sea swimmer and I’ll probably keep it that way!

Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction.
It’s been a difficult few weeks for inspiration, revisiting and reworking familiar locations. It happens now and again, testing patience as well as creativity.
