We are so proud of the women of Swim Dem Crew that took part in this shoot with @StylistMagazine! They all have bodies that are different shades, shapes & sizes but they swim with us because we are a family. Big ups! #SwimDemCrew

January 21 - I started the year with a swim with @swimdemcrew, cooked lots of food (me and wifey did a cup drawer each week for diff countries cuisines, it was cool!) and I started running / exercising again, trying to lose the belly. I took most of the month off to chill out

May 21 - Shot the @swimdemcrew 'how to swim' videos (you can see them on our IG) - which was a project YEARS in the making. Went over to the coast to shoot with Farfetch, walked with Flock Together and said goodbye to a friend that was headed to USA for work

June 21 (cont) - got new @swimdemcrew product. Surprised @PEIGH a lickle bit for his bday. Kept on going on walks and hanging out with my friends (something I struggled and continue to struggle with is maintain my relationships with friends, I'm working on it)

July 21 (cont.) - we did a mini retreat for @swimdemcrew and wifey took me out for my 31st bday to Bright in Hackney (highly recommend) I started working with SMILING boys this month too. More on that later.

Sep 21 - Played for @munchclubtv's house party. went to Cross the Tracks. Officially restarted @swimdemcrew social sessions - something that was up in the air for a very long time. I'm so proud of myself and @PEIGH for being able to get back into the water.

December 21 - stayed cooking, had our final Swim of the year and our Christmas party. It's been a great end of year for @swimdemcrew truly, I'm so happy we've been able to come back in a small capacity

After a tireless campaign driven by our wonderful local community, @SadiqKhan has committed to funding the renovations for the 50m pool and diving pool at Crystal Palace. We now must ensure that this is delivered on as soon as possible & get our pools reopened.

Much of what they do is about personal development and self-affirmation, using swimming as a tool to empower people.
They have two swim sessions that you can join in London Fields Lido and Britannia Leisure Centre this month, details via their profile.โ
