Love your videos! I just started Zoe. Think it's a bit different to when you started? Anyway yesterday was Day 1 and therefore test day - blood and poo. Those samples sent off. Today is the start of the food log diary. Very interested to hear you say you feel 'clean' on the inside. That is precisely the word a friend of mine used to describe how she felt after a couple of months. Like you I hope to learn estd in which I can be healthier and definitely would like to lose some weight. I've no idea what my BMI is but I'm sure it's v v bad! Good luck and keep videoing!

Strangest thing… I’ve been following your swimming content for the last couple of years now, but we’re also narrowboaters and I’ve been looking into the RYA Helmsman course for me & son (husband already an expert 😉). Put the course name into CZcams, and there you are! Lovely to connect your two lives in my head, and lovely to see this vid of you doing both. We did that part of the K&A last summer & I snuck off for a peek at the development of the Cleveland Pools.

It would be fantastic to dam & divert it somehow, and see what’s under there!

You solved the mystery, thank you ❤

Thanks for the inspiration! I like the idea of using a bottle as a keel and my tow bag has a handle I can clamp my camera on. Looking forward to try it out in the Sea of Japan tomorrow🐳

Thanks for the video! I tried compeed anti-chafe stick and it didn't help. Will try sport glide next. Thanks! Looks like Barton on sea? 🙂

Looks beautiful and God bless you!!

Liked from a Delaware River swimmer in the USA

Great review as always. You’ve not posted a video for a while Rachel. I’m hoping you are ok? Hugs 🤗

Michigan resident speaking. Ir is July. Looking forward to autumn. Got an ironman tri in September. Once that is done......autumn swimming begins.

Looking forward to more videos

Did you do the full year Zoe subscription? I am on holiday but am going to send for my kit this week. Been following Zoe team for a while

Brilliant insights into why we may feel the cold. Thank you.

Are there any truly spacious dry robes? I’ve tried a few and there just wasn’t enough room to get changed underneath and I’m not keen to invest in my own

I like your character. You are amazing. ❤

How weird. This very video is the epitome of about 6-7h of research on how to keep my valuables safe with me when going to the beach on holiday abroad. From researching waterproof phone bags of differing waterproofness, to bum bags that rip, to dry bags, and, finally, tow floats. Think I'm ready for that holiday!! Thanks for the great vid!

amazing video detail... thank you..

did you really need to take the dog?

Thanks to the Tories neglect the whole British island has plenty of brown floats bobbing around out coasts !

This stretch has taken a maybe Scottish king

Thank you

I’m ten and my first adult open water triathlon is in 3 weeks. This will be my first time using a tow float.

Hi Rachel, Great tip about putting the rope between the legs when it's windy or popping a heavy water bottle inside so it doesn't fly around. it flipping float annoyed me no end yesterday during a windy OW swim, thank you so much

Watch in the watch at 1.06 behind you. What is it?

Didn't they think of the damage they are doing to the bottom of the stream a complete eco system being disturbed. What would they do if I walked into there homes and took a baseball bat to there furniture. No difference . With poor water quality and pollution in our local rivers and beaches, Ali and I decided on a mini adventure which was rather like a safari. Floating and swimming through the New Forest, at times scraping the bottom, we felt like explorers NO JUST A DESTRUCTION DERBY AS YOU BECAME THE POLLUTION

Great informative video, thanks for making it. I am just wavering between the lomo run swim tow float rucksack and the onde from Swim Secure - which brand is better in your opinion? I'm new to all this but assume you prefer Lomo, since that's what you're using! Many thanks again for such as useful video!

One handy thing I do to get the sand off my feet is to bring a bottle of water with me and rinse them before I put on clothes to avoid all that sand in socks and shoes. Awesome channel and advice!

Can running shoes fit in the tow float?

❤

Brilliant, so helpful. Thank you. Changing will now be so much easier 😊

The only thing I've found to help in salt water is to tape the back of my neck, with Rock Tape extra sticky kinesiology tape.

Why would you swim at an industrial site ?

Very clever 🎉🎉

Hi Rachel, I can’t decide which I love more, the lunge test or that incredible circular brick building behind you overlooking the water. What a great place to film!!! I just wish changing robes were available in 🇨🇦. Your reviews are very thorough. When the day comes that I do find one to purchase, I’ll certainly know what features to look for. Thanks, and keep on lunging, my friend!! Ⓜary💦🏊‍♀

Thank you! Great video

Very interesting, I have a Gorilla Robe which is great but it’s a pull over your head type and I sometimes wish I had bought a front zip fastening one. The one good thing that I love about mine is that it has a huge pocket at the front that you can put a hot water bottle inside in the winter!

Is the entire Strid dangerous or just that keyhole part? Or is it just this part known as the Strid where it’s like the keyhole?

Hi Rachel great review on the 4 changing robes ,as I said I’ve got the Rugga Robe and think it came out as good as the other 3 ,which I well happy it did the the job,really like your reviews on all swimming related items ,great work .👍🏊‍♀️

I bought the Speedo ones today. Pretty desperate, have swimmers ear right now for the 2nd time in 2 months. 😢

Hi Rachel,I enjoyed ur video when u swam with a dr.talking about sea swimming.it was very informative.

I am a Brazilian open water swimmer and I would love to swim in these cold waters! Love your channel by the way

Can you do a second video with you sitting in them. You get out of water tired so you sit down and the robes pull right up to your ass and you sitting on cold plastic. And your legs stick out too. This is not just a length issue but a design flaw imo. But mabye other brands are better?

Great video, very helpful and interesting about the ION robe You also made me laugh with your sense of humour. Thank you x

Great idea demonstrating which robes fit in a tow float. For me, I worry about my DryRobe getting knicked if I leave it on the beach. Really no way to keep an eye on your kit when you’re swimming. And these things ain’t cheap.

Thanks Rachel. Plenty of choice. Rachel any idea how to repair a Tow Float. Tried different glues but no luck.

Looks like a fantastic adventure. Great to hear the Pink Tri X are serving you well. Stay awesome, keep inspiring. Cheers :)

WoW Rachel, this little retreat would be a dream come true for me. I’m in awe of all the amazing swim spots you got to check out. I’m also in awe of all the tents and the overall set-up… it all looks so great. I did notice your new pink gloves, very cool!! The one thing that really caught my attention is all the laughter. It seems that everybody was there to enjoy and have a fun time, and to share the swim-vibe amongst like-minded adventurers. Sorry to be late to the viewing party here… these post-graduate uni courses are keeping me pretty dang busy. Plus, the Vancouver Canucks are in the Stanley Cup playoffs (hockey) and this is a big time event!! So, like a true Canadian, I’ve been watching a fair bit of hockey lately. I’ve yet to get out for a swim yet, but the day will come as soon as the wind dies down and I can get away from my computer. Thanks for another great video, much appreciated. Looking forward to more, Ⓜary💦🏊‍♀

Great vlog Rachel ,amazing views of the bays and the sea was abit choppy,and camping ,by the way I wear a green Rugga Robe I find mine well warm .
