I got 9… and it’s harder than it looks. Cold training days make quick changes a must, and this just makes life easier when you’re freezing and soaked.
Besides a big warm Dryrobe, comment your best tips for building cold water tolerance. I still struggle with it.
#ad, but genuinely something I use. #dryrobe
BBC Green Athlete of the Year 2025 🏆 and Award for Contribution to Social Impact. Recognition that means a great deal.
Thank you to for supporting the 3 Lakes Journey and the Thames River Relay Swim. Swimming has always been about more than racing the clock, and these challenges gave me some of my most meaningful memories in the water this summer.
These may be individual awards, but in open water we never swim alone. The current is stronger when we move together, and in protecting our planet, we’re all swimming the same course.
Thank you.
I’m used to drinking hot chocolate to fuel long swims, not to recover from a 3 degree plunge. Nice change, slightly terrifying, 10 out of 10 would not rush to repeat without a
Winter swimming is a different sport. If you’ve mastered cold water, I’m listening. Any tips welcome.

Huge congratulations, Hector, what an achievement!
#OpenWater
The Paris 2024 Olympics have concluded, marking the end of my second Olympic Games. While I initially felt conflicted about the outcome, upon reflection, there’s much to be proud of. Although I didn’t achieve the medal I believed was within reach, the performance I delivered represents the culmination of three years of hard work and the redemption I’ve sought since Tokyo 2021.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have competed in such an iconic venue. It’s rare for open water swimming to receive the attention that Paris 2024 provided. Despite the concerns about water quality leading up to the event, I commend Paris for making it their Olympic legacy to clean up the Seine, setting a powerful precedent for other nations to follow. To have raced in the flagship event for the games is something I will cherish forever.
The last year has been the most successful of my career so far, winning a World championship medal for Britain, the first in Olympic distance for 13 years. Momentum is behind me, this is just the beginning.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my career.
Exciting things ahead.
