Individual swimming coaching for Masters swimmers — built around your goals, available pool time and existing club training.
£50 / month · Personalised Programming
THE CHALLENGE & THE SOLUTION
Masters swimmers often train around club sessions, work and family commitments. Making progress isn't simply about swimming more — it's about having a clear purpose behind the sessions you complete.
It's easy to accumulate metres without knowing whether each session is developing the qualities you need. Repeating familiar sets, guessing intensities and overlooking recovery can leave progress difficult to measure.
Individual swim programming built around your events, ability, training availability and goals. Each session has a purpose, with planned progression and coaching feedback to help guide your development.
WHY IT MATTERS
Real challenges. Clear answers. Swipe to exploreSwimming lengths without clear session objectives can make progress difficult to evaluate.
Purposeful sessions targeting the specific qualities needed for your swimming goals.
Standard sessions may not reflect your events, current ability or available pool time.
Individual programming that considers your race distances, experience and weekly commitments.
Repeating similar sessions without tracking performance can make it difficult to know what's improving.
Structured training progression informed by session feedback, pace, technique and performance.
SWIMMING COACHING PREVIEW
A purposeful swim session has more than a distance target. Here's how a coach could structure an aerobic-power workout — and adapt it around the person in the lane.
A clear objectiveEvery length earns its place.
Appropriate intensityQuality work, not just more volume.
Room to adaptDesigned for the swimmer's ability and schedule.
Competitive Masters · illustrative example
THE COACHING DECISION Hold a repeatable pace without sacrificing stroke quality. Intervals, rest and volume change with the swimmer.
400m easy choice; 4 × 50m drill/swim by 25m; 4 × 50m build 1–4. Prepare rhythm and technique for the main work.
8 × 50m alternating smooth swimming with a stronger second 25m. Short, appropriate recoveries.
3 rounds of 4 × 100m at a strong, repeatable effort (around RPE 8), followed by 100m easy. Rest intervals and target pace depend on the swimmer.
4 × 50m, descending 1–4 from controlled to fast without losing stroke quality.
Easy swimming using comfortable strokes and a relaxed effort.
Session times are approximate. Total distance and structure are examples for a competitive Masters swimmer, not a fixed prescription. The coach adjusts pace, rest, volume and content to suit each athlete.
Illustrative training example only; not an individual prescription or official governing-body session. Your coach adapts the session to your needs, ability and training environment. Coaching deliverables depend on the service purchased.
