Back from a week training with Trojan SC in the Lanzarote sunshine, masters world record holders Helen Gorman and Jo Corben discuss everything from tough morning sets to celebrity selfies, sightseeing and cheese.
The pair discuss why Lanzarote has become the unofficial spring gathering point for masters swimmers, the atmosphere of training alongside international squads, and whether there were any swimmers left in the UK - apart from Kirsty Johnson, who stayed home and broke a world record.
They also chat about planning the camp on a budget, structuring training for maximum benefit, balancing hard work with recovery, and why using annual leave for a swim camp can be one of the best investments you make in your swimming.
Along the way there are highlights, lowlights, funny moments, favourite sets, tired legs and plenty of honest reflections on what they both took away from the week - physically, mentally and socially.
