🌊🏊‍♂️ Open Water Season Begins!

The Praslin Aquatic Sports Club kicked off their open water swimming season with an energizing swim just off the beautiful coast of Praslin Island. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and stunning island views, swimmers of all levels came together to celebrate the start of another exciting season in the ocean.

With great energy, teamwork, and a shared love for the water, the session was a fantastic way to build endurance, and enjoy the natural beauty that makes swimming around Praslin so special.

Here’s to many more swims, stronger strokes, and unforgettable moments in the open water this season! 🌅💙

Marley Martin made the trip to Mahe Island to compete in Series 1 and 2. Blazing through 5 events over 3 sessions in Series 1, she set 5 new Personal Best times. In Series 2 she set a new PB in 100m freestyle and entered her first 200 backstroke event with great pace work and a top notch time. Congratulations Marley, you set the lanes of fire 🔥

Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing women in our club! 🌸

Whether you are a dedicated swimmer chasing the water every day or a proud mom supporting from the poolside, your passion, strength, and love for the sport inspire our entire community. Thank you for the energy, encouragement, and heart you bring to our club.

Today we celebrate you — in and out of the water. 💙🏊‍♀️

As our swimming competitions resume this month, its important for all our swimmers to learn about "Walking the long path".

What does that look like? What does it mean?
It's accepting that some seasons feel flatter than others.
Some swimmers will fall behind. Others will surge ahead - for now.
It means watching your child grow physically, while technique temporarily stalls as coordination catches up.
There will be periods where improvement is visible and obvious.
Others where development is happening quietly beneath the surface.
A single gala does not define a swimmer.
A single year does not predict the future.
The mistake is reacting to each season as if it defines the whole journey.
A stable journey feels steady and purposeful.
It recognises progress, even when it is subtle.

Walking the long path means understanding that development does not move in straight lines.
It's built in the ordinary weeks of training.
In daily effort.
In steady habits.
With support and belief.

💦Learning to swim is a journey — not a race💦
Every splash, every smile, every little step matters.
For young children, swimming isn’t about rushing to the finish line. It’s about:
✔ Arriving and settling
✔ Watching and listening
✔ Trying new skills
✔ Repeating at their own pace
✔ Growing confidence
✔ And coming back next week, ready to try again.

This gentle cycle builds confidence, safety, and a lifelong love of the water — one lesson at a time.
Let’s celebrate progress, patience, and proud little moments 💙
Because strong swimmers are built slowly… and safely.

The Vijay Eve Island Swimming Pool complex is more than just water and lanes—it’s where our swimmers learn discipline, teamwork, and confidence.
That’s why Praslin Aquatic Sports Club is proud to give back by donating to our municipal pool. By supporting the facility we rely on every day, we’re helping ensure it continues to serve our athletes and the wider community for years to come.
We encourage our community to invest in local sports facilities and youth sports development. When we support the places where young athletes train and grow, we’re building healthier, stronger communities for the future.
Grateful to swim, train, and grow here 💙🏊‍♀️
