Efficient Swimming

John is patient and enthusiastic coach; he has taught me to do the crawl from the not being able to breathe to swimming with confidence, I wanted to learn the crawl before I am 60!

I entered for a 2k swim this year but was not confident that I would be able to swim all the way using front crawl. John was the answer to my problems! He helped me to improve my stroke, making it smoother and more efficient, enabling me to swim much further without feeling out of breath. He was extremely encouraging, provided comprehensive feedback after each lesson, as well as points to work on before the next session. I had a total of 6 lessons and feel so much more happy with my stroke now - and ready to take on a bigger challenge next!

I attend one of Johns front crawl workshops for beginners and it was brilliant. I was quite nervous before going but as soon as I arrived I knew I was in a safe pair of hands and John talked our group through everything we needed in order to improve our technique. We started with some gentle breathing and then John led us through several different exercises culminating in all of us being much improved by the end of the session. He was super knowledgeable without ever making us feel under pressure to preform. I felt so much more competent by the end and will definitely be seeing him again for further instruction in open water swimming. The class was pitched perfectly for beginners and was exactly what I wanted. I was pleasantly surprised by how much he managed to coax out of each of us. Best money Ive spent in sometime. Highly recommend!!!! (P.S. I wasnt massively keen on swimming with my face in the water but now wouldnt give it a second thought)

Had a one off coaching session to assess my swim stroke. Good fun, and effective especially in a sunny calm sea. John picked up on 2 key points, one had an instant positive impact (arm entry and catch), and the other will take some working on (Leg kick). Also lots of additional feedback on what i was doing well and other hints and tips. Would definitely recommend.
