Structured swim coaching for endurance atheltes
Professional swim coaching for athletes focused on open water, triathlon, and long-distance swimming goals.
Swimming is a highly technical sport. Progress is rarely made by simply swimming more lengths; it is achieved through specific, intentional sessions that balance stroke mechanics with aerobic development.
When you are a busy professional, you cannot afford to spend hours in the pool without a clear objective.
If you are frustrated by a lack of progress or feel that your swimming is holding back your overall performance, a swim coach with a structured approach provides the technical oversight and planning needed to have you moving efficiently through the water.
The Challenge of training without a framework
Swimming without a professional plan often leads to common plateaus:
The Single Speed Problem: Falling into the habit of swimming every session at the same moderate pace, which fails to build top-end speed or endurance.
Technical Inefficiency: Lack of propulsion and poor body position that no amount of fitness can overcome.
Lack of Specificity: Training in a pool without preparing for the unique demands of open water, sighting, and pacing.

“Chris has provided the perfect mix of technical expertise and structure. His coaching transformed my stroke, fixing my sinky feet and taking my average pace under the 2:00 threshold. His guidance got me through the Hurly Burly 10k and we are now tackling a 100k month, the progression, accountability… and banter have been incredible.”
A technical Approach to performance
As a swimming coach, I focus on building a sustainable, efficient stroke that translates directly to race-day performance. My approach removes the ambiguity of what to do at the pool.
Purposeful Programming: Every set is designed with a specific physiological AND technical goal—whether that is technical improvements, critical swim speed (CSS) development, stroke rate management, or endurance building.
Scientific Load Management: We monitor your training stress to ensure you are progressing without compromising your recovery or other disciplines.
Strategic Consistency: We focus on the basics done brilliantly, ensuring that every session contributes to long-term development rather than short-term fatigue.
