Something exciting for anyone looking to boost their swimming
As we edge closer to warmer weather (if it ever stops raining!) and the start of open‑water season, many of us start thinking about building things up again. Whether that’s improving technique, increasing endurance, ready for events or just growing our confidence to make the move from the pool to the lake.
With that in mind, I’m really pleased to share that Catch are now supporting the Swim Buddy Network.
Catch is a swim‑coach app designed for everyday swimmers who want a bit more structure and guidance.
It brings together clear technique videos, supportive coaching, and sessions that help you build smoother, more relaxed front crawl, the kind that makes swimming feel good rather than like a battle.


Catch Gold gives you a personalised training plan tailored to you & your goals. Whether you want to swim silky front crawl or train for an open water or triathlon race, Catch Gold makes it simple to achieve your swim goals – & quickly.
You customise your plan so it fits your life, with flexibility to toggle sessions between pool & open water.
You’ll also get:
* Weekly in-depth video technique lessons tailored to you
* Sync your Apple Watch or Garmin – your watch guides you through each session
* Unlimited 1:1 coach chat with Rebecca, Catch’s Head Coach
On average,Catch Gold swimmers get 15% faster in just 8 weeks.
They also offer Catch Free, which gives you two structured sessions a week, a monthly technique lesson, watch sync, and access to their community. It’s a simple, low‑pressure way to build consistency and see if the app suits you.
As part of their support for the Swim Buddy Network, they’ve shared an exclusive offer for members:
30 days free on Catch Gold, plus £5 off your first three months. Discount code is available for members in our Facebook group.
It’s great to welcome Rebecca and the Catch team, and I hope some of you find their coaching helpful as you get ready for the months ahead.
