County Netball Academies

Hello, once again I have returned from a very long break!

So since my last post I have moved house, and the new house is brilliant, I have attended counties and I did okayish, and also I have had an allergic reaction to the pool, making eczema come up around my eyes whenever I swim.
The result of my eczema means that I have had to stop swimming in the mornings and cut down to 2/3 sessions a week, which I am quite upset about as I love swimming and now I can't train as much I'm hoping it won't have an effect on my times at the next open meet.

One really big exciting thing that happened this month was that I was picked to attend a county netball trial and I found out yesterday morning that I had been accepted into the Essex County Netball Academy! So that consists of 30 weeks of training, which will commence in September, and I can't wait! The good thing is my friend Megan got in as well, along with another girl from my club, which means I won't be all by myself.

Today is the last day of the school before the Easter holidays, so it means I have got 2 weeks off to relax and spend some time with my friends, including a big sleepover round my new house.

So back to swimming, I went last night and it was ok, I didn't do too badly and I didn't find it that hard, but unfortunately I have only been able to attend one session this week. I have an open meet coming up soon so I am going to start focusing on what I need to do to pb in my events. I think the only two I need to work on are my 100m IM and my 100m Backstroke as I haven't done them for a while, but hopefully I do well.

I have to go now so until my next post, goodbye.
