Catch Swim

Our best date as founders of a swimming start-up?

As a swim coach, I’m slightly embarrassed to admit this - it was deeply irresponsible.

But it was possibly our beer mile swim in Santorini.

400m swim.
1 beer.
Repeat x4.

I’d lost my goggles, so I wore a kid’s pair shaped like fish.
A small cat supervised our cans.
Strava had absolutely no idea what was going on.

For the record: swimming + drinking = no bueno.

This Valentine’s: swim. Skip the 4 beers.

With love, Rebecca & Will 💙

A love letter to the month we usually hate.

We were pretty nervous going into January. We had massive expectations for Catch, & I was worried we might fall short.

But holy heck, you lot delivered.

The Catch community more than doubled in size this month. It’s a huge deal to trust your swimming with the new app on the scene, & seeing you all dive in has been the highlight of our year.

We’ve been crunching the numbers on our Gold Catchlings & discovered they get 15% faster in just 8 weeks. Legends.

Behind the scenes, there's been a fair bit of graft. I (Rebecca) have been cracking on in the UK while Will has been pulling double shifts in the Alps - Catch's solo developer by night & ski instructor by day. When he got back, we celebrated January's wins with a fancy dinner & a couple of bottles of bubbly from our fams & pals.

I honestly feel January is just the warm up. We’re more ambitious than ever, we've got some incredible new launches lined up for February & we can't wait to see what you achieve with Catch next 🏊 LES GO!

Forget shipping lanes & jellyfish. We’re doing the Channel in Croatia. & you're invited 🇭🇷

Your secret weapon for swimming better isn't necessarily your technique or fitness - it's between your ears 🧠

I bang on about this all the time: you should train your mind BEFORE you train your body.

You can have the most efficient technique in the world, but if your mindset hits a brick wall, your progress will too.

Having a strong, positive mindset towards your swimming is basically a legal performance-enhancer.

After over 100 of you joined our first Catch Masterclass with Psychology Coach we knew we had to go deeper. So we're back with a three-part series to help you dive into swim psychology:
