THE CHALLENGE
It's hard to know what matters most.
Your swimming, gym training, fuelling and recovery can all demand attention. Without clear priorities, deciding where to focus first can be difficult.

THE PERFORMANCE DIRECTOR EXPLAINED
What does a Performance Director actually do?
Nathan helps you see the bigger picture before deciding where to focus. In an initial 30-minute consultation, you'll discuss your swimming goals, current training and priorities.
THE PERFORMANCE DIRECTOR
One conversation. Clear priorities.
Nathan listens to your goals, considers your wider training picture and helps identify sensible initial priorities. Where appropriate, he shares relevant information with your chosen specialists, with your permission. Each specialist then leads their own coaching.
PERFORMANCE DIRECTION IN PRACTICE
One swimmer. A clearer way forward.
The Performance Director looks at the wider training picture, helps clarify priorities and introduces the right support. Here's what that can look like.

A Masters swimmer has regular club sessions but no structured gym programme. They want to become stronger without arriving at the pool fatigued.

Everything you need to know before building your performance team.
A 30-minute one-to-one consultation with Nathan Oxford, designed to step back and look at your wider performance picture. You can discuss your swimming, training, S&C, nutrition, recovery, competition goals or anything else affecting your progress.
It's for Masters swimmers who want an experienced outside perspective on their training and performance. You don't need to be an OXOLT member or use any of our other services.
No. You might have a particular issue you want to work through, or simply feel that your progress has stalled and you're not sure what to change. The consultation is about identifying what matters most and where to focus next.
Yes. The initial 30-minute Performance Director consultation is included at no additional cost with eligible monthly coaching services. If you're purchasing a one-off assessment, digital programme or simply want independent performance advice, you can book a standalone consultation for £30. Only one initial consultation is included when joining monthly coaching. Ongoing Performance Director meetings are not automatically included.
The consultation provides guidance and clear next steps rather than automatically providing a training programme. If ongoing support would be useful, Nathan can explain how the wider OXOLT Performance Team could help.
Yes. If you would benefit from another dedicated Performance Director consultation, you can book another 30-minute session as needed.
