STOP TRAINING BLIND.
One-to-one online coaching, £150/month. You train hard and know more about swimming than most, but your PBs aren't moving. That's a direction problem, not a fitness problem. Your programme is built for your stroke, your events and your race calendar, and updated every time you race.

HOW IT WORKS
STOP TRAINING BLIND.
The swimmers who get faster are not the ones who try harder. They are the ones who train with direction, build to their race and have someone in their corner who knows what they are doing. Personal Best is 1-to-1 online coaching: every session written for you, around your stroke, your events, your pool time and your race calendar, with however many sessions a week you need.
A periodised season, not a template
You get a periodisation Google Sheet mapped to your race calendar. Each phase has a purpose, and your sessions change as your season does.
Weekly session folders
Sessions drop into your Google Drive each week with the drill video series attached. Open the folder, swim the session, send me the times.
Direct access to your coach
Email me your race times, your questions, your pool problems. I respond personally. Technique and race analysis are part of the membership.
The methodology, written down
The TheSwimsuitGuy coaching methodology guide comes with the membership, so you understand why every set is there.
The average competitive swimmer spends over £1,000 a year on competitions: entries, travel, accommodation. Personal Best is the investment that makes every one of those races count. The membership is capped at 14 places to protect coaching quality, and 9 are left.
THE COACH
COACHED AT THE TOP OF THE SPORT.
Energy Standard, the elite club of Ben Proud, Sarah Sjöström and Florent Manaudou. Chad Le Clos, coached to two world short course titles and a PB at 31. Camp coach for Siobhan Haughey before Paris, where she won Olympic bronze. Jan Čejka, a Personal Best member, to a Czech national record. The same eye, on your stroke.
QUESTIONS
BEFORE YOU JOIN
How many sessions a week?
However many you can realistically do. Some members swim three times, some six. The plan is built around your pool access, not the other way round.
How quickly do I get my first sessions?
You answer six short questions on joining. Your first block follows once I have them, usually within the week.
Is there a gym programme?
Where it helps your event and you have access, yes, written alongside the swim. Pool-only members get power work in the water.
Can I pause?
Yes. Pause from your account for holidays or injury and pick up where you left off.
