As your coach I will primarily focus on your proficiency in the water. Improving upon technique is something that is continuously worked upon in high levels of competition and is what is needed to improve both speed and endurance.

Client Reviews

As a new triathlete, I was hoping to improve my swim technique. During our first session, Nick analyzed my technique and provided me some excellent instruction. I feel that he did a great job listening to my goals, and helping me on the path to accomplishing those goals. He was very thorough in his explanations and the theory behind his methods. At the end of the session, I already felt like I was a better, and more confident, swimmer.

I have had 3 lessons with Coach Nicholas so far, and I've thoroughly enjoyed each session. He's an excellent teacher and the pace of the lessons is perfect for me. He keeps you completely engaged without overwhelming you with new information/techniques. I also appreciate that he actually gets in the water with you, analyzing all aspects of your swim stroke and giving you real demonstrations of what he's seeing or looking for. I definitely recommend Nicholas as a swim coach, and will be continuing to take lessons from him myself.

Attention to detail. Customized to areas of improvement.

Great coach. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking to find an astute coach in the field of swimming

Great coach!!!! helped me with my swim technique in just one session. Very patience and attentive. Highly recommended
