Client Reviews
Iwan (CoachUp client)
Coach Warren is very patient and knowledgeable about stroke improvements. I want my son to work more with him to improve his strokes. He is a breaststroke specialist, but he can help improve in the other strokes as well. If you want to learn more about taking your swimming to the next level, I highly recommend him. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, you can always learn new skills from Coach Warren. Highly recommended.
Kelly (CoachUp client)
Fantastic with kids, we highly recommend him!
Marilyn (CoachUp client)
We booked in with Coach Warren for my daughter. She went from not knowing all the strokes to being able to do flip turns, open turns, and all the strokes. Warren is very patient and kind. I am so happy with my daughter's progress.
Mitza (CoachUp client)
Coach Warren did an amazing job getting our teenager back into swimming! Coach Warren’s positive and clear instructions really focused our son on what’s possible and how he can get to a new level. Thank you Coach Warren!!!
Aleksandra (CoachUp client)
Coach Warren was amazing with our 6 year old. Our son is full of energy and was very excited. Coach Warren was able to focus and direct his excitement to get the most out of his class. They worked on strokes, timing and form. Coach Warren gave him, and us, adjustments which already have made such a big difference for him. Our son is still excited and talks about what he learned days later, he cant wait for his next session. We would really recommend training with Coach Warren!
Bob Wang (Testimonial)
I am delighted to write this testimony about Warren Barnes, an exceptional swim coach and swimmer with an impeccable eye for technique and video analysis of strokes and his positive impact on my son's swimming journey. My son had the privilege of being coached by Warren for several years, and it has been an incredible experience to witness the transformation in his swimming abilities. From the very first session, it was evident that Warren deeply understood the mechanics of stroke technique. His keen eye allowed him to identify even the smallest details in my son's strokes, enabling him to provide precise and personalized feedback. What truly sets Warren apart is his ability to utilize video analysis to its fullest potential. He consistently recorded my son's swimming sessions and meticulously analyzed the footage. His attention to detail was remarkable as he broke down each stroke, kick, and turn frame by frame. Warren's expertise in analyzing the videos helped him uncover areas of improvement that my son and I would have never noticed. Warren's coaching approach is supportive and challenging, creating an environment that encourages my son to strive for excellence. He has a natural ability to motivate his swimmers, pushing them to reach their full potential. Under Warren's guidance, my son felt inspired and motivated to push his limits, and he has made tremendous progress as a result. Warren's dedication to his athletes is evident in the time and effort he invests in ensuring that each swimmer receives individualized attention and guidance. As a father, one of the things I appreciate most about Warren is his excellent communication skills. He can explain complex swimming concepts clearly and concisely, making it easy for swimmers of all skill levels to understand and implement his teachings. Warren's coaching sessions are always insightful, engaging, and incredibly valuable for my son's development as a swimmer. Thanks to Warren's expertise and unwavering commitment, my son's swimming abilities have improved dramatically. His meticulous attention to technique and skillful use of video analysis have profoundly impacted my son's strokes, resulting in improved efficiency, speed, and overall performance in the water. I am amazed at my son's progress under Warren's guidance. In conclusion, Warren Barnes is an outstanding swim coach with an extraordinary eye for technique and video analysis of strokes. His dedication, expertise, and ability to inspire and guide young swimmers are genuinely remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend Warren to any parents seeking a coach who will improve their child's swimming skills, instill a passion for the sport, and help them reach new heights in their swimming journey.
