Coaching The Swimmer - Not The Stroke
Group Sessions
Join a well-coached group where the focus is always on quality instruction and steady progress.
We run sessions for a range of abilities, from swimmers building confidence and efficiency to a more advanced group for those ready to train at a higher level.
Groups are structured to allow for individual feedback and technical detail, while still creating the energy and motivation that comes from training alongside others.
Your first session is free β come and see how we work.
Video Analysis
Our one-to-one Video Analysis sessions provide the most precise way to improve your swimming.
Using detailed above- and underwater footage, we assess your stroke frame by frame, identifying exactly where efficiency, balance, and power can be improved.
You'll leave with clear corrections, targeted drills, and a deeper understanding of how to move through the water with control and ease.
Ideal for swimmers who want focused, technical progress.
Private Sessions
Private lessons offer the highest level of individual coaching, with every session tailored entirely to you.
Whether you're working towards a specific goal, prefer one-to-one instruction, or want to progress at your own pace, these sessions allow us to focus in detail on your technique, efficiency, and confidence in the water.
With complete flexibility and full attention throughout, private coaching is the most direct way to improve.
Suitable for beginners through advanced swimmers.
Destination Swims
Join us in some of the most beautiful swimming locations we know, with trips designed to offer something a little beyond the ordinary.
Our destination swims combine expert coaching with exceptional settings β from unique boats to carefully chosen coastal routes β creating experiences that feel distinctive, relaxed, and memorable.
No two trips are exactly the same, but each is built around quality, attention to detail, and a shared love of swimming in remarkable places.
More than a trip β a true swim journey.
