sally nugent has been to meet him.me what this is? yeah, so this is, i think, a five by three metre tub, so it's called an endless pool, you basically swim against it. it enables me to train pretty much like 90% of my normal volume, my normal speed, my normal stroke. so obviously being outside the water, you're going to have to swim in the river, swim in a lake, it's not ideal and for me, my stroke is so precise. so this enables me to do that. and obviously swimming as a sport is very, very hard to train for if you've got no access to the water, and i think with the elite athletes, we were out of the water for seven weeks, maybe eight weeks, which is a long time and then we got these in and we're back into the elite training centre now and it's been an amazing tool, amazing utility to use. one of the downsides of lockdown is of course people who would regularly want to go to their local swimming pool for their exercise aren't able to do that, and we know there's a petition going on right now, part of a campaign to get
