IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Beyond the results. In their own words.

The coaching experience, in the swimmers' own words.

S&C

I’ve been lifting in the gym for almost 20 years, as a key part of my training programme. From working with OXOLT, my technique has improved significantly, and I’ve a lot less pain in my lower back than before.

Great service provided and nothing is too much trouble. As a triathlete I've found the plans Oxolt has put together for me, has helped develop myself as a athlete and have had some great results

S&C

I’ve been working with OXOLT for a few years now and have seen significant improvement in my strength, power and speed. The training plans are updated weekly, based on feedback and data, which is fantastic. The plans are fully bespoke to me which is exactly what I was looking for.

S&C

I had always had a rather disorganised approach to strength and conditioning but Nathan has provided the structure and encouragement I needed to make it an integral part of my training programme. The results speak for themselves - European masters swimming records

S&C

I have really enjoyed working with Nathan so far. The sessions have been really engaging and informative and it really motivates me to check-in more with myself and focus on my performance. I feel stronger. I am really excited to get racing again this year

S&C

I felt it had stagnated a bit. I wanted something a bit more swimming specific. After hearing Nathan talk on a swimming podcast I decided to reach out… feel my mobility around knees and shoulders has improved and I’m excited to learn more about movements to support my swimming
