Ich hatte auf eine Schwimmzeit von etwa 20 Stunden hintrainiert und wir schafften es dank einer unglaublichen Gezeitenplanung, die Strecke in <strong>15 Stunden<\/strong> zu bew\u00e4ltigen. Es war eine Herausforderung, aber sie hat mich nicht an meine Grenzen gebracht. Mich Ausdauerschwimmer zu nennen, f\u00fchlte sich heuchlerisch an \u2013 bis zum <strong>Grand Swim<\/strong>. Dieser brachte mich an meine absolute Grenze. <strong>Ich habe mich im Ozean noch nie so klein gef\u00fchlt.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Es gab Phasen, in denen war ich bereit oder sehnte mich fast danach, dass etwas aus der Tiefe auftaucht und mich einfach in den Abgrund verschwinden l\u00e4sst. <strong>Der Grand Swim hat mich in vielerlei Hinsicht auf die Probe gestellt<\/strong>, mein k\u00f6rperliches und geistiges Durchhalteverm\u00f6gen wurde bis ans \u00c4u\u00dferste getestet.

Wof\u00fcr ich am 16. Mai 2022 gek\u00e4mpft habe, war <strong>der Zustand der Ozeane<\/strong>. Es wird viel mehr dar\u00fcber gesprochen als fr\u00fcher, aber Worte bewirken nichts, wenn Regierungen wenig dazu beitragen, die Verwendung von Einwegplastik einzuschr\u00e4nken.<\/p>\n<p>Unsere Ozeane sind ein enorm wichtiger Lebensraum, nicht nur f\u00fcr die Meeresbewohner, sondern sie nehmen eine bedeutende Rolle im Zusammenspiel unserer globalen Systeme insgesamt ein. Was der Mensch diesem perfekten \u00d6kosystem antut, ist mehr als unverzeihlich. Wir als Verbraucher m\u00fcssen Ver\u00e4nderungen fordern. Einwegplastik wird verwendet, weil es billig ist. Noch billiger ist es jedoch, ein Beh\u00e4ltnis zu kaufen, es zu pflegen und immer wieder zu verwenden. <strong>Die Umweltkosten sind unvorstellbar hoch.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Der Grund, warum ich am Grand Swim teilgenommen habe, war, Geld zu sammeln und das Bewusstsein f\u00fcr das allgegenw\u00e4rtige Problem der Ozeane zu sch\u00e4rfen.<\/h3>\n<p>Indem wir die Jugend begeistern und inspirieren, r\u00fccken wir das Thema in den Mittelpunkt des \u00f6ffentlichen Interesses. Der Grand Swim hatte auch <strong>politische Auswirkungen<\/strong>, denn das Team und ich wurden zu einem Gespr\u00e4ch mit Premierminister Wayne Panton auf den Cayman Islands eingeladen. Er versprach, noch in diesem Jahr ein Plastikverbot einzuf\u00fchren. Wir freuen uns schon darauf, die Initiative umzusetzen!<\/p>\n<p>Indem wir Aufmerksamkeit wecken und Bewusstsein schaffen, hoffe ich, dass wir unsere Mitmenschen dazu ermutigen k\u00f6nnen, informierte und bewusstere Entscheidungen zu treffen. Man ger\u00e4t im Alltag leicht in einen automatisierten Rhythmus, wo man Produkte w\u00e4hlt, einfach weil man schon immer diese gekauft hat. Sei bewusst, nimm dir einen Moment Zeit und w\u00e4hle nach mehr als nur Gewohnheit. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/de\/freiwasser-triathlon\/eine-schritt-fuer-schritt-anleitung-fuer-verantwortungsvolle-freiwasserschwimmer\/\">Ich m\u00f6chte die Menschen dazu inspirieren, bewusste Entscheidungen zu treffen<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Vorbereitung auf das Schwimmen<\/h3>\n<p>Viel schwimmen, sehr viel, aber noch immer nicht genug &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arenasport.com\/de_de\/ausrustung\/rucksacke-und-taschen.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-97978\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OW_051_The-Grand-Swim_2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OW_051_The-Grand-Swim_2.png 800w, https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OW_051_The-Grand-Swim_2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OW_051_The-Grand-Swim_2-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Im Ernst,<strong> Schwimmen und Schwimmen und das Stunden lang<\/strong>. Mein Trainingsplan umfasste bis zu 80 km pro Woche Schwimmen im Becken im Winter und mehr als 10 Stunden Schwimmen im Meer im Sommer. Das Training im Schwimmbad ist nicht ideal, denn es ist einfach nicht dasselbe. Die Probleme mit dem Chlor und die Notwendigkeit, alle 25 m zu wenden, sind nicht ideal &#8230; Aber wir tun, was wir k\u00f6nnen, mit dem, was wir haben. Ich wusste ganz genau, dass ich f\u00fcr das bevorstehende Projekt physisch nicht ausreichend vorbereitet war. Eine Schulterverletzung hatte zur Folge, dass ich meine Trainingszeiten schon Wochen vorher reduzieren musste und in den zwei Wochen vor dem Grand Swim keinen einzigen Meter geschwommen bin.<\/p>\n<h3>In der Zeit vor dem Grand Swim habe ich eine Menge anderer wichtiger Trainingseinheiten absolviert, und seit ich wieder in den UK bin, bin ich wieder voll dabei.<\/h3>\n<p>Ich dehne regelm\u00e4\u00dfig und mache Beweglichkeits- und Flexibilit\u00e4ts\u00fcbungen. Krafttraining ist ebenfalls ein wichtiger Bestandteil meines Trainingsplans. Zus\u00e4tzlich zu meinem Schwimmtraining mache ich so viel Ausdauertraining wie m\u00f6glich, um mein Herz in Form zu halten, z. B. Laufen und Radfahren. Ich achte dabei immer darauf, es mit dem Laufen nicht zu \u00fcbertreiben, denn ich m\u00f6chte meine Knie schonen. Ich habe das Gl\u00fcck, einen befreundeten Personal Trainer zu haben, der mir mit einem <strong>Trainingsplan<\/strong> geholfen hat, bevor ich zu den Cayman geflogen bin.<\/p>\n<p>Eine Sache, von der ich glaube, dass sie mir bei meinem Training und meinen Erholungsphasen wirklich geholfen hat, ist meine <strong>pflanzliche Ern\u00e4hrung<\/strong>. Eine pflanzliche Ern\u00e4hrung hat viele Vorteile, nicht nur f\u00fcr mich, sondern auch f\u00fcr den Planeten. Ich selbst litt viele Jahre lang unter Krankheiten wie dem Restless-Legs-Syndrom und dem Reizdarmsyndrom. Seitdem ich mich pflanzlich ern\u00e4hre, sind viele meiner fr\u00fcheren Beschwerden vollst\u00e4ndig verschwunden. Hier kannst du mehr \u00fcber die pflanzliche Ern\u00e4hrung von Sportlern lesen.<\/p>\n<p>Neben der k\u00f6rperlichen Vorbereitung war es f\u00fcr mich wichtig, auch meinen Geist auf die bevorstehende Aufgabe vorzubereiten. Mein Kopf ist sehr aktiv und arbeitet st\u00e4ndig auf Hochdruck. Von Zeit zu Zeit muss ich meine inneren Dialoge beruhigen, dazu wende ich Achtsamkeitstechniken wie Meditation an. <strong>Die meiste Zeit des Grand Swim verbrachte ich in einem Zustand der Meditation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Am Tag des Grand Swim musste ich mich zur Vorbereitung in eine dicke Schicht Sonnencreme einh\u00fcllen. Das war meine einzige Chance, Sonnenschutzschichten aufzutragen, und zwar dick \u2013 aber w\u00fcrde das f\u00fcr die karibische Sonne ausreichen?!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-97984\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OW_051_The-Grand-Swim_3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OW_051_The-Grand-Swim_3.png 800w, https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OW_051_The-Grand-Swim_3-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.arenaswim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OW_051_The-Grand-Swim_3-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8222;Der Grund, warum ich am Grand Swim teilgenommen habe, war, Geld zu sammeln und das Bewusstsein f\u00fcr das allgegenw\u00e4rtige Problem der Ozeane zu sch\u00e4rfen.&#8220; (Oly Rush) Kilometer: 95,5 km\u00a0 \u00a0|\u00a0 &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1414,"featured_media":97972,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10074],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.14 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Der Grand Swim - The arena swimming blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Der Grund, warum ich am Grand Swim teilgenommen habe, war, Geld zu sammeln und das Bewusstsein f\u00fcr das allgegenw\u00e4rtige Problem der Ozeane zu sch\u00e4rfen.

From a very early age I was surrounded by water, I trained as a competitive swimmer and summer holidays were often spent on the coast, camping in Cornwall. I\u2019d be in the sea all day body-boarding, then playing in the rock pools, marvelling at the wonderful sea creatures! I couldn't seem to get enough! In the mornings I wake up to the sound of the waves crashing on the rugged coastline, and fall asleep at night listening to them. I was then and still am, drawn to the ocean. Spending all this time around the sea and along the coastline I've been increasingly aware of the huge issue that is plastic pollution. There are many issues our planet is facing and I believe plastic pollution is a great place to start the change that is needed. It's easy to get involved in actively helping to clean up and reduce our use. It can be the very catalyst we need to help us look at other areas of our lives and the impact they might be having on this fragile, beautiful planet. In recent years I've been aiming to raise awareness about plastic pollution through one of my passions, distance swimming. The swims have been growing year on year, each getting longer and harder but in doing so also reaching more people, creating the ripple effect needed to combat such a mind boggling issue. I have tried to slow my pace of life down as much as I can, however I'm currently juggling between earning enough to pay the bills, renovate my house, setting up a charity, regular beach cleans and training for some rather daunting awareness swims. The slowing pace of life isn't all that successful but it's one heck of a journey! I guess if I could sum it up in one sentence I'd say this - 'I want to enjoy my short existence on this planet but tread as lightly as I can, allowing space for other creatures to also thrive.'

From a very early age I was surrounded by water, I trained as a competitive swimmer and summer holidays were often spent on the coast, camping in Cornwall. I\u2019d be in the sea all day body-boarding, then playing in the rock pools, marvelling at the wonderful sea creatures! I couldn't seem to get enough! In the mornings I wake up to the sound of the waves crashing on the rugged coastline, and fall asleep at night listening to them. I was then and still am, drawn to the ocean. Spending all this time around the sea and along the coastline I've been increasingly aware of the huge issue that is plastic pollution. There are many issues our planet is facing and I believe plastic pollution is a great place to start the change that is needed. It's easy to get involved in actively helping to clean up and reduce our use. It can be the very catalyst we need to help us look at other areas of our lives and the impact they might be having on this fragile, beautiful planet. In recent years I've been aiming to raise awareness about plastic pollution through one of my passions, distance swimming. The swims have been growing year on year, each getting longer and harder but in doing so also reaching more people, creating the ripple effect needed to combat such a mind boggling issue. I have tried to slow my pace of life down as much as I can, however I'm currently juggling between earning enough to pay the bills, renovate my house, setting up a charity, regular beach cleans and training for some rather daunting awareness swims. The slowing pace of life isn't all that successful but it's one heck of a journey! I guess if I could sum it up in one sentence I'd say this - 'I want to enjoy my short existence on this planet but tread as lightly as I can, allowing space for other creatures to also thrive.'
