I'm from Belgium... I'm female, I run, swim and snowboard, but since I'm becoming a lifeguard I spend most of my free time swimming. I became vegan in the beginning of this year, before I was a vegetarian for some years.
Welcome! Are you straight edge? I'm a swimmer too. Do you compete? Do you have any swim goals (be it general fitness, or particular times, or events, or distances to complete)?
I'm becoming a lifeguard and I have to swim some exams for it. I don't compete in swimming but I follow the same training scheme of some (male) competition swimmers because it's a good training for me.
But next summer I'd like to try to do a triathlon (not the whole iron man) in a good time.
Welcome! Glad to see another woman on board. And congrats on going vegan!
