For example, this can include: learning how to achieve a higher body position, reduce drag and resistance, improve your breathing technique, catching the water better, and how to improve your rotation and becoming more streamlined in the water, plus up to 80 other front crawl techniques and stroke corrections!

Testimonials for Group swim sessions:
"Nick ran the swim sessions for David Lloyd Triathlon club for 6 months and in that time he consistently applied his training methods and approach to swim training that enabled me and all of the other members of the tri club to reduce our 400m time trial times. More than that his sense of humour made these sessions enjoyable and the hour in the water fly by! I can highly recommend him as a trainer/coach, you won’t be disappointed. “John Leysen
