Swim Coaching

My coaching is friendly, practical and encouraging. Whether you're nervous about open water or aiming for a faster or longer race, I'll help you become a more confident and efficient swimmer.

Over the past two decades I've completed four Ironman triathlons, numerous marathon swims, swum Alcatraz, the length of the Thames and Bristol Avon in a mermaid tail, and crossed the Bristol Channel towing a Big Poo.

Teaching swimming was my first job at 14, and after all these years it's still one of my favourite things to do.

Every session is relaxed, supportive and tailored to you. You'll leave with individual feedback, clear coaching points and practical skills you can use straight away.

Please note: Coaching fees cover tuition only. West Country Water Park charges a separate venue entry fee, payable directly to the venue.
