Credit to @rose_filer : Today’s long swim made enjoyable by having these two by my side! All smiles even if we did swim against the current almost the whole way! 💖🏊🏻♀🏊🏻♀🏊🏻♀💖 posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2XPVYA5

Credit to @rose_filer : It’s Monday and I’m feeling it! After a lighter week of training I’m feeling good and ready to build back up the volume! 💪🏻 12 weeks left until Catalina! Let’s do this!! 💖🏊🏻‍♀️💖 posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2RkqGvH

Credit to @rose_filer : Had a lovely stroll in the water before we got out far enough to actually swim and then had an EPIC time (good and bad). 💖🏊🏻‍♀️💖 • F I N A L L Y made it around the lighthouse and swam to the condos on the other side and found out it isn’t as scary over there as I somehow thought.✅ • Got wrapped up in a pretty big lion’s mane jelly which👎🏻 impacted my swim quite a bit. Swam afterwards for almost an hour but threw up and started cramping for some reason, possibly related to being stung, so we made the decision to get out early and not finish the 8k. A bit disappointing, but still got in a solid swim and learned some lessons. ‼️Do not hug the jellyfish ‼️ • So grateful to have my around to help get the jellyfish barbs out and provide vinegar and aloe for the stinging! posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2FcTBx1

Credit to @rose_filer : There is family, There are friends, And there are friends that become family. 💖💖 These people are part of my swim family aka some of my favorite humans! 💖🏊🏻♀🏊🏻♂💖 This social hour swim was exactly what I needed after a hard and somewhat frustrating week of training. (Seattle pools are very temperamental apparently). I love that no matter what, there is always a group of happy swimmers to be with on Saturday at the bathhouse! posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2I4VEor

Credit to @rose_filer : Training reality vs Instagram: tired, hungry, sunburned - oh wait, look cute for the picture!! 💖🏊🏻♂🏊🏻♀🏊🏻♀💖 I pretty much always look like a drowned rat after my swims which is why the are usually before pictures. 🤣 So blessed to have such a strong and supportive swim community to help get the training done! Always way more fun with friends and I’m able to push myself further than if I’m swimming by myself. Partly because I feel more safe if I’m with buddies, but also knowing they’re probably cold and tired too keeps me going. posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2WFbQFi

Credit to @rose_filer : LOW tide and fog can’t stop us! 💖🏊🏻♀🏊🏻♂🏊🏻♂💖 Half way through my distance for today - almost time to hit the pool. I’m tired and a bit sore as my training has picked up pretty quickly, but otherwise the body feels good and I’m in a good headspace! Time for food!!
