Private coaching sessions are available for swimmers of all ages, including children, teens and adults (Masters and triathletes). Our Masterclasses are for children only, typically aimed at developing club swimmers who want to improve technique, confidence and racing skills.

Skills4Podium coaching is designed for competitive and developing competitive swimmers, from club level right through to County, Regional and National standard. Private coaching is also suitable for Masters swimmers and triathletes. 

Private coaching sessions are completely bespoke, focusing on the swimmer’s chosen goals such as stroke technique, starts, turns or underwater work. Sessions include demonstrations, technical drills, and video feedback on an iPad to highlight areas for improvement. At Moreton Hall and Ellesmere College, swimmers also have access to Olympic-standard starting blocks and a backstroke ledge.
