Why I founded SWIMMA
Hi, I'm Oliver, the founder of SWIMMA.
I've swam around the world with different coaches and followed every training plan under the sun.
Buying 'credits' to see my coach, not having the flexibility to speak when I needed to the most, and joining group workshops instead of 1-2-1 sessions led me to do coaching differently.
Read the story below.
My swimming journey started after racing in an Ironman 70.3 triathlon with no help from a coach, and no training plan.
I stood on the start line feeling under-prepared, rather than enjoying the moment I'd worked hard for.
Since that day, I've competed in swim races from the Arctic to the Algarve, working with a number of coaches.
SWIMMA is about doing swim coaching right. No 'credits' you must buy to see your coach, no rigid schedule when you can meet, and no group workshops. I still coach personally with a roster of other seasoned coaches that we assign to you based on your goal and experience.
I want you to have the coaching I needed: unlimited, flexible, 1-2-1 coaching for a reasonable price.
Ps. On the left, that's me at the 70.3 race I wasn't ready for. Not happy at all.
