So naturally I had a totally sensible thought: how hard can it be to become a professional swimmer? Today I head to Loughborough to get a front row seat to Freya’s training, learn how to dive + glide without bellyflopping (pls), and then we go head-to-head in a series of challenges… including one slightly illegal secret weapon 👀 Huge thanks to Skin + Me for partnering with me on this video: link + offer at the top of the description 💛 Sign up to the mailing list ➡️ https://philybowden.com/pages/newsletter-signup Head over to my Instagram @philybowden for more daily updates and training insights!
