How online swim coaching works
Coaching runs entirely online, across the USA and South Africa. Here’s exactly how I work on your stroke without ever standing poolside.
- 1
Film a length on your phone
Prop your phone at the end of the lane, or ask someone to hold it. A side-on and a front-on clip of one or two lengths is plenty: I’ll tell you exactly what angle helps most.
- 2
I review the footage
I watch it stroke by stroke, the same way I would from the pool deck, and pick out the two or three things that will make the biggest difference.
- 3
You get annotated fixes & drills
Notes and marked-up clips land in the coaching app: clear, specific, and built around what your stroke needs next, not a generic checklist.
- 4
Film again, keep refining
Work the drills, send a new clip, and watch the fixes stack up over weeks: the same feedback loop a poolside coach gives you, just asynchronous.
From first lengths to dropping time
Swim coaching spans a wide range. You don’t need to already be “a swimmer” to start.
- You’re a nervous adult beginner who can barely get down the lane without stopping.
- You swim regularly for fitness but feel like you’re working harder than you should.
- You’re a club swimmer chasing a specific time and want a second set of eyes on your technique.
- You’re coming back to swimming after time away and want to rebuild good habits from the start.

Before you dive in
Do I need access to a pool?
Yes, somewhere to swim a length or two: a local pool, gym pool or club session all work fine. I coach from your footage, not poolside, so it doesn’t need to be a fancy facility.
What if I can barely swim a length without stopping?
That’s completely fine. That’s exactly the kind of footage I want to see. Technique fixes matter most for beginners, and the drills are built around where you actually are, not where you “should” be.
How do I actually film it?
Prop your phone against a kickboard or bag at the end of the lane, or ask a friend to hold it, and film side-on and front-on for one or two lengths. No special equipment required. Once you sign up, I send simple filming tips so the footage is useful.
Do you coach both beginners and competitive swimmers?
Yes, from nervous first-timers to club swimmers chasing a personal best. The footage-based approach works the same way at every level, it’s just the fixes that change.
