Competitive Swimmers

Train smarter.

Race faster.

Private technique, mindset, and elite mentoring — coaching that complements your squad, from someone who trained alongside Thorpe and raced Phelps.

Our philosophy

We don't coach against your program.

We make it work harder.

Your squad coach sees 20+ swimmers. We see one — you. Swimly sessions are private, precise, and completely complementary to whatever program you’re already in. We never contradict your coach’s instruction. We explain it, deepen it, and help you actually feel what they’re describing.

🎯

We enhance, not replace

Your squad coach has a program. We work within it. If they’ve told you to fix your catch — we help you feel what a correct catch actually is. Most swimmers hear the instruction but can’t translate it into sensation. That’s exactly what we fix.

🔬

Precision over volume

Competitive swimming isn’t about training harder — it’s about training smarter. We focus on stroke efficiency, turns, and starts. Two or three targeted technical changes will do more for your times than three extra sessions a week.

🧠

Mind and body together

Race-day performance is 50% mindset. We coach the mental side — managing pressure, race-day routine, breathing under load — because the best technique in the world won’t help you if you tighten up in the first 25m.

What separates Swimly's competitive coaching.

🏅

Coached by someone who's actually done it

Jason didn’t just coach elite swimmers — he was one. He trained alongside Ian Thorpe under the same coaching staff and raced Michael Phelps. The competitive insight he brings isn’t theoretical.

🤝

We work with your program, not against it

We never contradict your squad coach. If they’ve identified an issue, we help you feel the solution. We explain, deepen, and translate instruction into physical sensation — that’s the gap most squad programs can’t fill.

📹

Video analysis + CoachNow platform

We use video analysis (CoachNow) to pinpoint exactly what’s happening — not just what you feel. Most swimmers are surprised by the gap between perception and reality. Video removes all ambiguity.

⏱️

Real results, fast

We’ve seen swimmers drop 3 seconds off their 50m breaststroke in a single program. One of our clients’ daughters is now a National Age Champion. Results like these aren’t rare — they’re the standard.

🏊

Works for every level

Squad swimmers, age group competitors, Masters athletes, and triathletes. Whether you’re chasing a qualifying time, returning from injury, or just plateauing — we build a program around your specific goal.

Common questions

Competitive swimmer FAQ.

Never. This is the question we get asked most and the answer is always the same. We don’t coach against your squad program — we make it work harder. If your coach has told you to fix your catch, we help you feel exactly what a correct catch is. If they’ve said your kick is too wide, we give you the drills and the sensation to fix it. We explain and deepen what your coach is already saying, never contradict it. If you’re not sure, bring your coach’s notes to your first session and we’ll align everything around them.

Squad training gives you volume and conditioning. What it can’t give you — with 15–30 swimmers in the water — is individual technical focus. Your squad coach might see your catch is off, but they can’t stop the session to spend 20 minutes on just you. That’s what Swimly does. One swimmer, one coach, 30 minutes of precision work. Most competitive swimmers plateau not because they’re not training hard enough, but because one or two technical issues are bottlenecking everything. We find and fix those.

Stroke Correction sessions are targeted technique work — best for specific issues like your breaststroke pullout, freestyle catch, or turn mechanics. The Elite Packages are full mentoring programs. They include stroke correction plus video analysis, mindset coaching, a strength and mobility plan, CoachNow access for between-session feedback, and accountability. They’re designed around a specific performance goal, not just individual sessions. If you want to drop times at a meet, qualify for a championship, or return from a plateau — the Elite Packages are built for that.

Yes — and this is where we see some of the most dramatic results. The Elite Performance Package is designed for ages 12+ and has produced multiple state-level improvements and at least one National Age Champion in its current form. For juniors, we also work closely with parents to ensure the coaching aligns with their club’s program and goals.
Absolutely. Masters swimmers often have deeply ingrained technical habits that respond very well to focused private coaching. Whether you’re returning to competition, managing an injury, or wanting to swim smarter as you age — the same principles that improve a 14-year-old’s breaststroke improve a 55-year-old’s freestyle. Many of our most motivated clients are Masters swimmers.
Most swimmers notice a real technical shift within 1–3 sessions. Measurable time improvements typically follow within 4–8 sessions of consistent work. One of our clients’ daughters dropped 3 seconds off her 50m breaststroke in a single package. Results vary by swimmer, but the 2–3 specific focus points you receive after every session mean you’re reinforcing the change every time you train.
Yes. Swimly’s competitive coaching is available for juniors aged 12+ in stroke correction and Elite Package programs. Younger competitive swimmers (under 12) can book booster sessions — please contact us to discuss the right fit.

“Our son has had 2 lessons with Jason and has improved out of sight. I don’t know what he’s done but our son’s attitude towards swimming has totally changed in a very positive way. We’re amazed with the changes we’ve seen in only a couple of lessons. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

“My daughter is a competitive swimmer and had a 1-on-1 session with Nathan — he was fantastic teaching her the importance of establishing a mind-body connection with her stroke, learning to breathe correctly and most importantly being relaxed in the water and not holding tension in her body.”
