    With swimming pools around the country opening back up, over 18’s now allowed to return their club training, and swimming lessons starting again; for this week’s episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast we talk through the stages you can get involved in swimming and wanted to explain that it’s never too late to start swimming.

    It really can be at any stage of your life. For example: having swim lessons as a child in the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme, having swimming lessons for beginners, or having adult swimming lessons.

    We know some people may have a water phobia or are too self-conscious to start swimming for the first time, but it’s a fantastic life-saving skill that we’re sure you’ll enjoy the more you do it!

    We also talk about the journey of swimming lessons for kids and as well as giving some swimming lessons beginners tips for those of you that haven’t been to any swimming lessons before.

    Shayna Jackโ€™s drawn-out anti-doping case has finally been given a hearing date, with the appeal against her reduced two-year ban scheduled for June 28 and 29.

    Jackโ€™s appeal will take place through a videolink, with theย Australian swim star defending herself over two daysย in front of a panel of three ยญarbitrators.

    It is expected Jackโ€™s defense team will again call on several high-profile witnesses to vouch for her character, including coaches and swimmers likely to be picked on the Dolphins squad for this yearโ€™s Tokyo Olympics.

    At Port Fairy’s East Beach, even in the bitterly cold months of winter, it’s a normal sight to see a group of people in nothing but bathing suits, submerging a man right into the ocean in a wheelchair. The man in the chair is Jim Pevitt and he is being helped into the ocean for his daily ritual: an icy ocean dunking.
