Why Club Swimmers Stop Improving

Your child trains hard, turns up every session, and still isn't getting faster. It's rarely about effort — it's almost always technique. Squad coaches simply don't have time to fix it one swimmer at a time.

Technical faults squad training never fixes

Crossover on entry, dropped elbow, scissor kick — coachable in 1-to-1. Ignored in a squad of 20.

Times have plateaued despite more training

A plateau is almost always a technique problem, not a fitness one. More yards won't fix a broken catch. Targeted coaching will.

Starts and turns costing race positions

A poor dive and slow turn can cost 2-3 seconds per length. In a close race that's the difference between a medal and fourth.

Parents & Swimmers We've Helped

★★★★★
I took lessons with Steven in preparation for a Sprint distance triathlon, and even though it was only 4 lessons, my technique improved significantly thanks to Steven's coaching.

★★★★★
I signed up for lessons with Swimmingclass as had decided to have a go at a triathlon but rapidly realised that i really couldn't swim. I've had 6 lessons with Steven at Swimming class and now can genuinely swim front crawl.

★★★★★
Steven is an amazing instructor. I had 4 lessons with him and could see a lot of improvements in my swimming techniques for breathing, front crawl, breaststroke and backstroke.

Common Questions

Club Swimmer Coaching FAQ

We coach competitive club swimmers from around age 8 upwards. Private coaching works best alongside squad training — we fill the gaps that group sessions can't.
Most parents notice visible changes within 2-3 sessions. Measurable time improvements typically come within 4-8 sessions depending on age, level and how consistently drills are practised between sessions.
Yes — and we'd recommend it. Private coaching works best as a supplement to squad, not a replacement. Brian works around your child's squad schedule. Many families come once a week or fortnightly.
Front crawl is the primary focus for most club swimmers. We can also work on backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly depending on the swimmer's events and what's holding their times back most.
