hello all. sorry you haven’t heard from me in a while. i never use this tumblr anymore, mostly because i’m no longer a teenswimmer. due to my injuries i’ve ceased swimming altogether and am looking at a possible surgery date in the near future. because of this, i will no longer use this blog. i want to thank my amazing followers, thankyou for sticking around for so long even though i’ve been inactive.

i want to make my personal blog my main blog on tumblr. tumblr is pretty dumb when it comes to this, so i’ll have to switch my blog names around. by the 13th of april i’ll be changing THIS BLOG to my PERSONAL BLOG.

To make this as seamless as possible I will just be switching the usernames around (so teenswimmer will become lustwonderlive). This means all my old posts on teenswimmer will still be accessible. I’m doing this in case any of you guys still want to be able to access old posts and tags. All pages on teenswimmer and their content will be deleted, but I will move them so they can be accessible on my secondary blog.

It’s a tad confusing but hopefully I’ve made it clear! Check out my secondary blog lustwonderlive in the link above. I totally understand if you want to unfollow as I’ll no longer be a swimming blog, but if you still want access to any pages on teenswimmer be sure to follow my secondary blog NOW so you don’t forget!

Thankyou so much for these past four years. This blog has been a way to express and inspire other swimmers around the entire freakin’ world. I have made at least five super close friends, who I speak to constantly on facebook, through this blog - and that’s pretty awesome. If you have any questions swim related, or just about me, please send them as I’ll reply before I officially switch blogs.

I’ve loved every minute of this journey. Unfortunately, swimming as a serious part of my life has come to an end. And so too has this blog. :( :(

Please remember that you determine your own limitations; anything you think can be accomplished, CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED. You’ve just gotta believe in YOU.

hey there swimmers!

amazingly, i've been inactive for a few months *cough* 6 *cough* and i am still being followed by all you wonderful peeps! thanks so much!

it's been a pretty crappy couple of months unfortunately, hence my unannounced inactive-ness. i really do apologise! however, i'll be kicking starting this blog over the next month or so! i'll aim to get on every couple of days and then build up from there!

unfortunately i'm still injured and can only swim up to 800m, and have missed the open water season for the second year in a row :( ON THE PLUS SIDE not being able to train has given me so much extra time to *gasp* ACTUALLY HAVE A LIFE. I've managed to get my lifeguarding and swim teaching qualifications, and I've also been coaching at my club. I fill filled with zee knowledge and power. :O

These last few months have been a great learning curve for me, as I've seen the wonderful sport of swimming not only from an athletes point of view, but from a coaches as well!

I'll be using what I've learnt to help write a couple of posts about specific strokes, and also to answer any questions you may have!

Please spread the word that teenswimmer is up and running again. I look forward to your messages and support! <3 <3
