What Is Swim Coaching?
Swim coaching is for swimmers who can already swim but want to improve — whether that’s refining technique, building speed and endurance, preparing for competition, or tackling open water. Sessions are always 1:1 and structured entirely around your goals.
We work with club swimmers targeting competition, triathletes preparing for events, open water athletes, and fitness swimmers who want to get more from their time in the pool.
- Stroke technique — front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly
- Starts, turns and race skills
- Speed and endurance programming
- Triathlon swim preparation (sprint to Ironman)
- Open water skills and event preparation
- Fitness swimming and efficiency

Coaching Results
“Technique improved in just 4 lessons”
Took lessons with Steven preparing for a sprint triathlon. 750m in 18:12 for my first competitive open water swim.
“Knocked 4 minutes off my triathlon swim split”
Precise technique feedback from session one. The 25m pool makes a real difference — you train at race length.
“Three lessons a week for Ironman prep”
Training for a half Ironman and 10k open water. Well-planned sessions tailored to my events.
