decide the race
Competitive swimming is won in the details. A cleaner entry, a tighter turn, a more efficient catch — these are the marginal gains that separate times at club, county and national level. Regular squad training builds fitness; targeted 1:1 coaching builds technique.
Our coaches work alongside your existing club programme. Sessions focus specifically on the technical improvements that squad training rarely has time to address — and that make the biggest difference to the clock.

Stroke
Technique
All four strokes. Catch mechanics, body position, timing, breathing patterns and the subtle fixes that unlock efficiency at race pace.
Race Craft
& Tactics
Pacing strategy, split planning, race-reading and the confidence to execute your race plan under competition pressure.
Starts, Turns
& Underwater
Block starts, relay takeovers, flip turns and dolphin kick — phases of a race that are routinely undertrained and routinely where times are won or lost.
Video
Analysis
Underwater and above-water footage reviewed with your coach. Precise technical feedback that shows exactly what to change and why.

Who competitive
coaching is for
Club swimmers on a plateau
Putting in the training but times aren't moving. Technical coaching identifies and fixes the specific issues holding you back.
Junior athletes targeting county & national times
Age-group swimmers working towards qualifying standards who need the 1:1 technical focus that squad training can't always provide.
Swimmers with technique to correct
Established swimmers who know something's not quite right but haven't had it diagnosed and corrected with precision.
Masters competitors
Adult competitive swimmers returning to performance or competing at masters level for the first time. Age-appropriate programming.
Swimmers returning from injury
Getting back into competition shape after a break. Rebuilding technique alongside fitness, with care around the injury context.
Development swimmers stepping up
Moving from recreational to competitive training. Building a technically correct foundation before habits set in.
