Not for the faint-hearted, BLAKE’s very own water-loving Scott completed the challenging Great North Swim earlier this month. He braved the 5km swim at Lake Windermere in rather windy conditions,achieving a fantastic time and in doing so, raised vital funds for mental health charity, MIND.

Also completing the swim was his friend Dan, with whom he has set up the hugely popular YouTube channel 'Propulsion Swimming' with the aim to give swimming a bigger voice and also to share their personal experiences and knowledge. Recently they launched their podcast which features guests that are quite simply swimming royalty. Whether you’re learning to swim or on your way to the Olympics, Scott and Dan believe the key to swimming is a great swimming technique which should be available to everyone.
