Speedo Athlete - Lee-Ann Elliott
What are some of your most memorable moments or achievements?
Robben Island crossing, 2 x IRONMAN Africa Champs.
What are some of your top tips?>
Learn to use your breath properly to regulate your nervous system when swimming in open water, it will help you from having panic attacks in the water.
Apart from swimming, what do you do for fun?
I love endurance sport, if it sounds crazy, sign me up, I have done 2 x IRONMAN (not 70.3's the full distance 3.8km swim, 180km bike and 42.2km run), 4 x Old Mutual Wealth DC and Cape Town Marathon, looking at adding ultra marathon to my experience soon. Anything that gets me out of my mind and into my body. I teach yoga and Pilates as a career so I just love being active and sharing my love for movement with others, at the end of the day, movement is medicine.
What is your favourite Speedo product and why?
I love the speedo swimming bikinis as I can wear them under my wetsuit rather comfortably as well as cycle or run in them, making it easier to just jump into the water after on a summers day. But for practice use in the pool, I love my Speedo Fast R Swim Bouy.
