Head Instructor
Based in Northern Ireland the majority of my coaching takes place along the stunning Country Antrim coast. Locations like Ballygally, Glenarm and Waterfoot.
​
For those new to open water swimming/dipping, or wishing to start but were too nervous to try, I run 'Introduction To Open Water' courses. They run over 4 sessions and cover various topics like reading and understanding the weather forecast and it's effects on the water conditions, rip-currents and afterdrop. They are light-hearted, fun but informative. These are group sessions with no more than 6 people.
​
For those with some experience, I run 4 week group 'Improver' sessions. This can be for people looking to improver their technique, increase distance/speed. If clients wish, we can look at the other strokes too, including breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly. I also run tailored 1 to 1 sessions for those who prefer individual sessions.
​
New for the 2024 season is my 'Open Water Masterclass' course. This course is aimed at those wanting to compete in open water races or triathlon. Focusing on speed, stamina, efficiency and race craft. This includes drafting, pack swimming, buoy turns, water starts etc. Utilize swimmers around you, don't fear them!
​
Typically sea swim coaching sessions run April-October. Although outside this time, cold water immersion 'dips' can be arranged.
