Swim Smooth Episode 25 - Big Rick's Chicks Break English Channel World Record!
We're back and pumped today with the achievements of Swim Smooth Manchester's
Head Coach, Lucy Lloyd-Roach and her team of four female swimmers who on the 1st September broke the world record to be the first ever female English Channel Relay Team to swim across La Manche in full medley order - backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle - with each team member having to complete 60 minutes of uninterrupted swimming on their given stroke.
Lucy swam the butterfly leg as British Master's butterfly champion, with
Melanie Holland (a Triple Crown marathon swimmer and
4-way English Channel relay swimmer) doing the honours on the backstroke,
Paul and Adam also discuss the latest developments at Swim Smooth, both locally and globally with our Certified Coaches, as well as the latest project the team has been working on to really enhance our online / remote coach offering.
