The first training session after summer break usually goes pretty well, the second one is excellent, and then fatigue starts to set in since you haven't been consistently training for a few weeks. This is completely natural and can only be avoided by training regularly throughout the summer. After saying this, it might sound like summer vacation is a bad thing, but that's not what we're getting at. Summer break is a great opportunity to recharge and reflect on what you want to achieve with your swimming or training in general.

What are you waiting for? Get more out of your time in and on the water!
The best recent example of this is our very own Pernille Blume, who took a significant break just a year before her triumph in Rio. Reflecting on, or perhaps even writing down, what you want to achieve with your training is ideal to do during the summer, as you have some distance and can genuinely feel what's right for you. Moreover, the start of a new season is a perfect opportunity for new things. Think about what worked in the previous season and what didn't, and now you have a unique chance to change that.
Watery's Suggestions for a Great Season Start:
- Write down your goals for the upcoming season. This way, you’ll remember them during challenging times.
- Consider what it takes to achieve these goals. (Any changes compared to last season?)
- Focus on good habits. (It's easier to maintain good habits throughout the season, like strong technical habits, healthy eating habits, regular attendance, etc.)

- Remember the importance of progression. It's better to start gently and sustain over the season. As Abraham Lincoln said, "I am a slow walker, but I never walk back." In other words, small steps and consistency are better than burning out before reaching your goal.
With that, we hope everyone enjoys the last bit of summer break and wishes for a very successful season start.
