Summer reflections and Winter Dipping

What a summer, although we had lots to think about with all the NEW rules and regulations, I am delighted we managed to meet so many people over the summer months.  Active Blu managed to run some coach development days for clubs, open water camps, squads, group clinics and 121 sessions for the last few months of the season.  If you have been coached by myself you know I am super passionate about getting people active and dreaming about what could be possible in their lives. I always love to hear about the goals and ambitions individuals and groups have.  This year despite the situation with COVID, I was always totally blown away by the people attitudes and commitment to things. Their passion, creativity and innovative ideas to continue to do what they love and offers them well being and peace of mind.  I also listened a lot to people about how hard times have been for individuals, families and businesses. Its certainly tough for people out there.....so if I may offer any words to other

GETTING BACK TO WHAT WE LOVE... Ok hands up, who has missed the feeling of the water running over their skin, the freedom that water provides and the opportunity to explore new places.  I certainly had been missing swimming, so you can imagine how delighted I am to be offering opportunities for open water swim experiences and world class coaching again.   We have been working hard to create 2 months of open water opportunities for you to come and get involved with. There is something for everyone - 121 sessions / Squads / Camps / Clinics and experiences in the heart of the Lake District. We are also excited to announce Active Blu has a NEW permanent open water home base at Brathay Hall Trust. The venue is outstanding and we get to train in private grounds in a beautiful, idillic bay. Not only can we run our courses, training sessions and camps from there, you can also stay over in the accomodation, boosting some of the best views of the Lake District from in and out the water.  Therefo
