How I work
I bring sports science to the pool deck. Every plan is built from an individual assessment and tracked through analysis of training and race data (power, heart rate, pace and technique), with ongoing adjustments and direct feedback.

If you’re looking for consistent progress, with a clear method and close support, I’d be glad to coach you.
