A strong weekend for Swimming Strong at the 2026 SwimTek WA SC Junior Championships.

Callista Lim completed six swims and achieved four personal bests—a 66.7% PB rate and 1.61 seconds of total improvement.

Her standout result was the 100m Backstroke, finishing in 1:19.74 and lowering her previous best by 0.96 seconds.

Four PBs across four different events made it a consistent weekend from start to finish.

Back yourselves. Back each other. Have a proper crack. Strong in the water. Strong in the gym. Swimming for life.

The biggest mileage week in your Rotto Prep is not a readiness score!

It can be useful information.
But without context it’s just a number.

I’d rather know:
Can you hold the right pace?
Can you repeat your training week?
Are you actually adapting?
What happened to your stroke when you got tired?
Have you practiced the skills you’ll need on race day?

You still need to swim.
A lot.

But the goal isn’t to win the weekly kilometre competition.

The goal is to arrive at the start line capable of doing the job.

Regardless of conditions. 😉

Are you ready?

A lot of adult swimmers preparing for Rotto are trying to solve the wrong problem.

They’re asking how to fit in the biggest possible training week.

I’d rather start with:
What can you actually repeat for the next 12 weeks?

If you work full-time, have a family, travel, get interrupted and occasionally have a terrible week,
your program has to account for that.

The best-looking program on paper is useless if you can’t consistently complete it.

That doesn’t mean lowering the standard.

It means making the work more deliberate.

Enough swimming to build the capacity you need.

The right intensity in the right places.

Strength work that supports the swim.

Testing that tells us when the plan needs to change.

Then we build from there.

What is the biggest thing currently getting in the way of your training week?

Last night on the night on the Ningaloo coast 😊

This stretch of coastline has been insane.

To the point where going to the beach and not seeing a turtle was a bit of a let down.

Honestly one of the most magical places I’ve ever been in my life but it’s time to move on to the next stage.

The Pilbara!

And I can’t wait!

The Ningaloo has a lot of things but swimming clubs isn’t one of them.

The one it does have in Exmouth was amazing but I’m ready to see more clubs and present to more people.

It all started with Onslow and now we are gearing up for a massive couple of weeks with before we head further north.

But to this amazing stretch of coastline.

We will be back.

Soon!

Exmouth Swimming Club thank you for having me!

On Monday I had the opportunity to present to members of the

We managed to have a great chat about how they could use dryland training to help supplement there training and get the most out of their swimming season.

Clubs like Exmouth due to coach availability and the swimmers only get to train once or twice a week for an hour.

This combined with the water temperature going from omg it’s hot 🥵

To freezing get me out of here cold 🥶

Means they have to come up with different ways to get their training in and have a great season.

That and being 4 hours from there nearest clubs in Onslow and Canarvan means these swimmers are some of the remotest you’ll find in WA.

I feel incredibly blessed that they took time out of their lives to listen to me and hopefully this can be the start of a great ongoing relationship.

Let’s face it.

Swim camp in Exmouth does sound like a vibe to me.

Full-circle moment. ⭕️

Last Friday, I had the chance to present to two clubs that shaped me.

where it all began, and, where I spent the bulk of my swimming journey.

Over 40 eager young swimmers.
One unforgettable night.
Still feeling blown away.

Giving back to the places that raised me in and out of the pool is exactly why I hit the road this year.

Next stop: heading up north (hopefully this week!)

If you’re part of a regional club, a coach, parent, swimmer, or committee member, I’d love to come present to your team.

I’ve created free workshops packed with practical tools and proven frameworks for:
• Coaches
• Swimmers
• Parents
• Committees

No cost. No limit. Just tell me where to be.

Let’s grow regional swimming, together.
