The Problem

Why Triathletes Lose Minutes in the Water

Most triathletes can swim. Very few swim efficiently. The difference between a panicked 45-minute swim and a controlled 28-minute swim isn't fitness — it's technique, pacing and open water confidence.

Inefficient stroke burning energy you need for the bike

Crossing over on entry, dropped elbows, scissor kick — every technical error costs energy at exactly the wrong moment.

Panic and anxiety in open water

Sighting, breathing and mass-start chaos are learnable skills — not personality traits. Brian coaches all of them in the pool.

No structure to your swim training

If you never train at CSS pace you'll never race at it. Most triathletes have no zones, no targets and no plan.

What Clients Say

Triathletes We've Coached

★★★★★
Had swimming lessons with Steven over the past few months and he was really brilliant. I never learnt how to swim as a child, and having tried a few adult group and one on one lessons in the past, I found the whole experience...

★★★★★
Brian and his team (Eva and Claudio) helped me achieve my long-held dream of learning to swim. With a patient, guiding and positive style, they helped me learn the front-crawl/freestyle technique.

★★★★★
I had a medium fear of water when I started swimming lessons with Brian FitzGerald. Initially, a fair bit of time was spent building my confidence and getting used to having my face in the water, something I was never comfortable...

Common Questions

Triathlon Coaching FAQ

Not necessarily. If you cannot yet swim a length comfortably, we start with private lessons at our warm Arkley pool and build from there. Beyond that, all abilities are welcome. Many clients arrive with poor technique that's become ingrained. That's exactly what we fix.
It depends on your current level and race distance. Sprint triathlon with 4 weeks to go — 3-4 sessions. 70.3 with 8 weeks — 6-8 sessions. We'll give you an honest assessment after session one and build a plan around your calendar.
Yes. The Venue in Borehamwood has a 25m competition-spec pool. We book a private lane so sessions are uninterrupted. It's the right environment for structured interval training and technique work.
Yes, and we'd recommend it for at least one session. Wetsuit-specific technique work is part of the triathlon programme — adapting your stroke to the extra buoyancy is something most coaches skip entirely.
The Venue, Elstree Way, Borehamwood WD6. It's 12 miles from Central London — roughly 25 minutes by car, or accessible via Elstree & Borehamwood station (Thameslink). Clients travel from across North London, Hertfordshire, Watford, St Albans and beyond.
