Does your mind take over your swimming race?
The difference between a positive attitude and a negative attitude could be the difference between first place or last place. The constant battle of nerves, and psychological effects overwhelm and play with your mind.
Are you a positive thinker or a negative thinker?
What do you think before you race??
If your saying/thinking to yourself:
I can't...
I won't...
I'm not good enough...
Everyone is better than me...
What's the point...
I've already lost...
Instead, replace your negative thoughts and turn them into positive thoughts and actions!
Then say/think:
I can do...
I will do...
I am able to...
I am good enough...
You are good enough!
Train hard, think positive and race as fast as you can!!

Ilkeston Swimmers Raise Money For Charity - Well Done
Well done to Gemma Gough, Kyle Hudson, Ben Saunders and Rob Hudson on your Running and Swimming events for raising sponsorship money for Cancer charities! Fantastic work!
You can see the article online on the Ilkeston Advertiser (See the link below):
http://www.ilkestonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/swimmers_raise_money_for_charity_1_3860339
Swimmers raise money for charity
MEMBERS of Ilkeston Swimming Club have taken to both land and water to raise money for two cancer charities.
Kyle Hudson, Rob Hudson and Ben Saunders took part in the Derby Gem 106 3k Fun Run in April, raising £228 for Cancer Research UK.The three senior elite club swimmers ran as a team posting a remarkable time of 15 minutes given the little running experience and training under their belts.
Rob said: “We would like to thank everyone for their tremendous support, encouragement and sponsorship money.“We are looking forward to taking part in the run next year and beating our previous time.”
Meanwhile, clubmate Gemma Gough braved the cold and murky waters of the River Thames in London to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support. The teenager, who also swims in the senior elite squad, overcame the currents, ripples and poor visibility to complete the Great London One Mile Swim in Docklands in 27mins 49secs and raised £133.
Great Work Everyone!! :D
