Coach Tom
Tom Jenkinson is a SwimRun community mobilizer, self-proclaimed stoic sage and natural running evangelist! He runs the Masters section of Bromma Swim Club Sweden and is a coach at Envol Swimrun.
I had seen the Envol “blue nation” at various SwimRun races over the years, but I’ll be honest, I had the impression of a performance-oriented clique based on their domination of many podiums! It wasn’t until 2020 that I got to know them better and how wrong I was. What I discovered was an incredibly warm and inclusive global community of swimrunners and multisport athletes with a multitude of different goals and backgrounds. I loved the community so much I joined it. Check it out. Train hard and have fun!
