NEWMAC – Your Go‑to Spot for Swim Tips and Local News

If you landed here, you’re probably looking for something that the NEWMAC tag has to offer. Whether you’re a beginner learning how to breathe right, a regular who wants the latest club meet‑up, or just curious about what’s happening in the Wyre Forest paddling scene, you’re in the right place. Below you’ll find quick pointers, event highlights and a few stories that other paddlers have shared under the NEWMAC label.

Quick Swim Hacks from NEWMAC Posts

New members often ask how to make the first few laps feel less like a chore. A common tip is to focus on a steady rhythm instead of speed. Count your strokes for 25 metres, then try to match that count on the next lap. If you’re feeling breathless, practice side‑breathing every three strokes – it breaks the monotony and helps keep oxygen flowing. Another easy fix is to check your goggles for fog. A dab of spit or a little baby shampoo on the lenses works wonders and saves you from a blurry view.

Upcoming Events and Meet‑Ups

The NEWMAC tag also flags upcoming swims, workshops and social gatherings. This month we have a night swim at the community pool on Thursday, a technique clinic with a local coach on Saturday, and a casual river paddle next Sunday. All events are free for members, and you can sign up through the club’s calendar. Keep an eye on the tag – new sessions pop up whenever a coach or a volunteer posts an update.

One of the most popular gatherings featured under NEWMAC was the “Swim Across the River” challenge last spring. Participants logged their times, shared selfies and swapped stories about dealing with cold water. If you missed that, the post still lives on the tag and gives a good idea of what a friendly, low‑pressure competition feels like.
