COMPETITIVE MINDSET COACHING
Mindset Coaching for Swimmers – Unlock Your Full Potential
Looking for an edge in competitions?
At Swimly, we know that success in the pool isn’t just about perfecting your stroke technique or putting in more laps. It’s about mastering the mental game. Our competitive swimming mindset coaching program is designed to give swimmers of all ages the psychological tools needed to handle pressure, push through setbacks, and perform at their absolute best when it counts most.
Whether you’re a young swimmer stepping into your first squad carnival, or an experienced athlete chasing a State or National podium finish, mindset is the difference-maker. With the right mental skills, you can transform nerves into focus, build resilience that lasts, and unlock the confidence to swim faster, smarter, and stronger.
Our personalised and supportive approach equips adult students with the skills and confidence to kickstart a brand-new love for the art of swimming.
The Power of Mindset in Swimming
In competitive swimming, talent and training will only take you so far. When the pressure of the starting blocks hits, your mindset takes over. It’s what separates swimmers who crumble under stress from those who thrive in high-stakes moments.
At Swimly, we believe three key attributes make the difference:
Positive self-belief
trusting in your ability to deliver when it counts.
Mental focus
blocking out distractions and staying present during training and competition.
Resilience
the ability to bounce back quickly after mistakes, missed times, or tough races.
Meet Your Mindset Coach – Jason Cram
Your mindset coaching is led by Jason Cram, World Champion swimmer, Commonwealth Games gold medallist, and Swimly’s Head Coach.
Jason trained alongside some of Australia’s greatest swimmers, including Olympic champions, and spent more than two decades competing at the highest level. He knows what it feels like to line up at the blocks with everything on the line, and he knows the strategies that work when the pressure hits. Beyond the pool, Jason brings a wealth of life experience gained during nearly 20 years travelling the world, working with billionaires, celebrities, and high-performing professionals. These unique experiences, combined with his certification as a life coach, give him a rare perspective on performance, resilience, and human potential.
With over 20 years of coaching experience, Jason has helped hundreds of swimmers overcome self-doubt, develop mental resilience, and achieve breakthroughs both in and out of the pool. His unique blend of elite athlete background, global life experience, and professional coaching makes him one of the few swimming coaches in Australia specialising in mindset training at this level.

What our clients say about us
Horacio Daniel PalacioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a class with Hyun Soo and really enjoyed it! The session was great, and the pool was perfect. Looking forward to coming back for the next class! Aneesh MistryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a stroke correction lesson with Ruby in the Willoughby pool. Ruby is excellent and I would thoroughly recommend lessons with her. She articulates cues well to help you think about how changes should feel. I've left feeling confident about how I will begin progressing my stroke in many different ways. Yvonne TseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son had a lesson with Head Coach Jason to help him improve his stroke technique for competition. It was awesome and fantastic. Jason is very professional and attentive. His eye for detail was incredible, he identified issues with my son’s stroke that had been holding him back for years. His instruction was clear, and he provided consistent feedback that helped him to correct his technique. My son is so happy to learn from him and looks forward to having the next lesson. I highly recommend Coach Jason to any serious swimmer looking to refine their skills. Soraia SousaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did the ocean confidence session this morning with Jason at Malabar and it was awesome. He gave us the basics of ocean swimming, what to look out for and best of all how you remain calm and confident in the ocean. All round nice guy and I would recommend this session if you're a little apprehensive but super keen for an ocean swim. I loved it so much I'm signing up for the social swim next! Phoebe ChiuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a 1:1 stroke correction with Ruby. She was attentive and gave me feedback lap by lap on what I was doing well and what needed improvement. We also worked on incorporating some drills. I would highly recommend her if you are looking to be a more efficient swimmer 🏊♀️! Kam ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience with Ruby. Both my children had lessons with Ruby at Willoughby and she was fantastic. She was patient, encouraging and made the lessons fun from the start. My kids instantly felt confident in the water with her. As a mum I appreciate how calm reassuring and professional she was. Highly recommend! KamalaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first session and Ruby was incredibly patient and pleasant to deal with. She gave me alot of useful feedback that I can use to improve. I'll definitely go back for more lessons! Matthew MarichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would highly reccomend private swimming lessons with Jason. I reached out with quite specific requirements that I needed to meet for cabin crew recruitment, specifically in relation to their “swim test”. Jason was able to tailor his teaching methods and practise tasks in order to best prepare me for the day! For example, he came up with ways for me to mimic the “tugging” or saving someone in the water, and found creative ways to best prepare me for the day. Generally speaking, he was very attentive and supportive, and always came up with personalised advice which he believed would help in learning how to swim! Overall, I ended up passing, and would highly recommend this company! Robert PostemaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good & helpful session with Hyun Soo Hwang today working on stroke & breathing issues Chris KondouTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great experience, without doubt Jason and his team at Swimly have been awesome. Knowledgeable & expertly balancing the tightrope to get you out of your comfort zone whilst at the same time creating a safe environment.
