Swim coaching for adults and triathletes

Technique-first coaching in a 20-metre ozone-filtered pool — from adults learning at 35 to age-groupers chasing a Kona slot.

The service

Fast is a technique problem first

Most adult swimmers are fighting the water, not moving through it. Every block starts with underwater video — you'll see the crossover, the dropped elbow, the kick that's doing nothing. Then we fix it, one thing at a time.

Three ways in: learn-to-swim for adults, the 6am squad for regulars, and triathlon prep with transition work for race season.

  • Underwater video analysis every block
  • 20m ozone pool — no chlorine hangover
  • Dedicated triathlon lane + T1/T2 drills
  • Open-water sessions at Mornington each quarter
  • Swim bench + Concept2 rowers for dryland work

The process

How a swim block runs

Video first, drills second, speed third — in that order, every time.

Week 1

The film

Underwater camera catches everything — most people have never seen their own stroke and it shows.

Weeks 2–4

Rebuild

One technical fix at a time. Catch, then alignment, then the kick you thought was working.

Weeks 5–8

Load

Threshold sets with the new technique — pace numbers start moving here.

Week 8

Re-film

Side-by-side video against week one. This is the part members post on Instagram.

In practice

On the aquatics level

Lanes, cameras and the occasional wetsuit fitting.

The crossover you can't feel, filmed.

T1 practice

Wetsuit off, shoes on, heart rate spiking — rehearsed, not improvised.

Who's coaching

Priya swam at the level she's coaching

Ex-national squad, now splits her mornings between the pool and the lab. Coached 89 triathletes to race day, including four Kona qualifiers.

Her most repeated correction: 'Your arm is a paddle, not a windmill.'

Questions

Before you ask

That's the whole point of the learn-to-swim program. Adults-only sessions, patient coaches, and a guarantee: 25 metres by week six or the next block is free.

Bathers and goggles are yours, everything else is ours — pull buoys, fins, paddles live at the lane edge. Squad members can store gear in a pool locker.

28°C year-round — warm enough for technique sessions, cool enough that interval sets don't cook you. The plunge pool next door is 8°C if you miss the cold.

Yes — sighting drills in the pool plus quarterly open-water days at Mornington. The tri block includes race-specific T1/T2 rehearsal.
