Triathlon Swim Coaching
Triathlon and Ironman swim training is designed for endurance athletes looking to improve efficiency, confidence, and performance in open water and pool settings. Sessions focus on stroke mechanics, breathing patterns, pacing, sighting, and race-specific strategy to help athletes conserve energy, improve swim times, and perform confidently on race day. Training is individualized to support technique refinement, endurance development, and the demands of long-course competition.
Triathlon swim coaching includes freestyle stroke refinement, breathing and sighting strategies, pacing and endurance development, and open-water skill preparation when applicable. Sessions may include technique drills, race-specific pacing work, stroke efficiency coaching, and individualized feedback tailored to race distance and goals. Coaching emphasizes calm control, efficient movement, and transferable skills that directly support triathlon performance.
More information
Triathlon swim coaching is designed to help athletes swim more efficiently, confidently, and calmly in both pool and open-water settings. Training focuses on freestyle technique, breathing patterns, body positioning, and pacing strategies that support long-distance endurance. Sessions are structured and individualized, emphasizing efficiency over intensity so athletes can conserve energy and exit the water ready to bike and run strong.
This program is for triathletes of all levels, from beginners preparing for their first race to experienced athletes looking to improve swim efficiency and confidence. It is ideal for athletes who feel the swim is their weakest discipline, struggle with breathing or pacing, or feel anxious in open water. Triathletes who want personalized feedback, clear coaching cues, and purposeful progression will benefit most from this program.
This program helps triathletes become stronger, more efficient swimmers while reducing fatigue and anxiety in the water. Athletes improve breathing control, body position, and pacing, allowing them to swim with greater confidence and consistency on race day. The result is a smoother, more controlled swim that sets athletes up for better performance across the entire race.
Frequently Asked Questions

I schedule lessons in 20 minute time blocks. You can do a 20 minute lesson, a 40 minute lesson, a 60 minute lesson, an 80 minute lesson, a 100 minute lesson, or a 120 minute lesson. What do I recommend? The younger the studen = the shorter the lesson so their engangement remains strong.
Plan on being 5 minutes early to every lesson to ensure a smooth start! For your swim lessons, please bring a swimsuit, towel, and goggles (optional). I also recommend bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated either during or after. For younger children, swim diapers are required. No regular diapers are allowed in the pool. If you have long hair, a swim cap can be helpful but is not required. All other equipment needed for lessons will be provided. There is a restroom available and I ask that you try your best to see if your child will use the restroom prior to beginning the lesson.
Water fear is completely normal, and I specialize in helping swimmers work through it. I use a gentle, patient approach that builds trust at each child’s pace, never forcing participation and always prioritizing safety and comfort. Many of my most confident swimmers began their journey feeling unsure in the water.
I teach swimmers at every stage of life, from parent–tot classes starting around 10 months old through children, teens, and adults. I also work with competitive swimmers, triathletes, and Ironman athletes who are looking to improve technique, efficiency, and performance.
I offer both group and private lessons. Group lessons, typically 4–6 swimmers, are great for building confidence and social skills while learning alongside peers. Private lessons provide one-on-one attention for more individualized goals or faster progression, and I also offer semi-private lessons for 2–3 swimmers who want to learn together. I strongly recommend private lessons for hesistant swimmes.
