    After 6 amazing weeks of racing in Budapest, the International Swimming League has come to a close. On this week’s Propulsion Swimming Podcast we review the final and ISL as a whole.

    We look back on our highlights of the final, what went wrong with London Roar, which swimmers impressed the most, and of course, we discuss just how good is Caeleb Dressel?!?

    Along with this, we look at which elements of ISL 2020 we loved and hope remain for the following competitions; including the Buda Bubble; as well as the area’s we didn’t love so much in Jackpot Times and Money stealing!!

    I decided to do a short guide to winter swimming while going for my morning swim in Ullswater. With over a decade of winter swimming behind me, I’m a great believer in just going out and enjoying the experience in whatever way makes you happy. Short dip in wetsuit or longer swim in skins. As long as you swim regularly and don’t overdo it. Winter swimming is an incredible experience and I hope this video gets that across.
