I'm so excited for next season now. People looking at downloadable 'one size fits all' plans online because they're cheaper - I've been there and you get exactly what you pay for! Go the extra step and invest in someone that will work with you personally and takes care and pride in helping you achieve your goals!

June 3, 2023Great 121 swimming improvement session. I'd picked up a lot of things from youtube up until that point that actually made what I was doing worse , simply because I... read more could not visualise what I was doing wrong, so I ended up doing the wrong things to 'correct' it. Paul was very helpful in identifying issues with my swimming technique and gave me specific drills/pointers to improve. The video footage enabled me to visualise the issues, act upon the advice given and make some immediate improvements. Paul used underwater headphones to keep me on track with practising the drills through the session which was a huge help too. I would highly recommend.

His coaching was well structured and I learnt a lot about when to push and when to hold back and rest . Putting sessions on like swim analysis with underwater cameras to track days to camps in Mallorca everything has been thought of to give the athlete every opportunity to fulfil their potential. Paul was my coach but has became a lifelong good friend 🙂

Whether it's an IRONMAN, triathlon, or an Olympic event, a coach can help you achieve your goal much more efficiently than alone.
Our personalised plans work for you, and can work around any barriers you may have.

So many athletes train alone or follow a set plan, and wonder why they underperform at their big race, get sick leading up to the event, or acquire an injury in training.
Finding a way to balance your life around your training, keeping consistent, and training sustainably is key - and the way to do that is with our expertly-crafted, personalised plans.
No one can do their best without first knowing what their best is.
Our coaches offer so much that you just don't get alone:
Expertise - your coach has spent years learning their craft and developing their skills, experience, philosophies and knowledge.
Goal Setting - seeing so many athletes over the years means a clear understanding of realistic and manageable targets, and therefore a better way to reach your peak.
Care - your coach is there to give you constant advice, support and encouragement - and you don't get that alone.
Time Management - most F4L Triathletes end up training less hours and racing faster!
Your coach will include group sessions into your programs as social interaction, which is incredibly important to achieving your goals.
We have helped nurses, midwives, firemen and many other shift workers reach their peak. Your coach will work around your availability to create a training program specific that works not only for your body, but for your lifestyle.
You don’t need to buy any specific equipment. Your coach will work with the equipment you have available.
Many F4L athletes have been with the organisation for years.
The coach/athlete relationship takes time to develop and takes a commitment from both to succeed.
