Awesome job from the ten swimmers representing the club at the 2026 Canterbury West Coast Long Course Championships held at Parakiore over the weekend. 🎉🙌 For the majority of our team, this was the first long course meet they had raced at so we had plenty of learning opportunities in the "long pool". The team did a fantastic job of stepping up and already looking forward to our next long course meet. Congratulations to Ben who won the Gold medal in the 13-14 Years 400m Free

In the world of swimming, there’s a common misconception that "more is always better." While staring at a black line for hours builds the engine, the rest is what actually tunes it. Without proper recovery, you aren't training; you’re just breaking yourself down. Training creates stress → rest allows adaptation. Without enough rest: Technique degrades Speed plateaus Injury risk rises (especially shoulders, lower back, hips) CNS (nervous system) fatigue builds up Swimming
