Speedy Swimming レビュー 

I joined Nick and the other swimmers for his Boscombe Sea Swim Masterclass Clinic. It was a great training session. Beautiful beach and I learned so much. I never thought I would grasp a proper beach start, but he explained it really well and my race start has undoubtedly improved as a result. A really good course and well worth the journey down from Guildford.

Was great to get a pair of expert eyes on my stroke. Nick immediately saw some important modifications that I could implement immediately. Faster for it already!

I've been coached by Speedy Swimming for several years now and cannot speak highly enough of them.
Have improved my pace and technique by a large degree and has also reduced stress and injuries. Sessions are fun but focussed. Have also made some great friends and both the group and Nick really kept me going through lockdown with online swim fitness and sea swimming sessions when the pools closed...much recommended!

Nick's swim analysis sessions are fantastic. He has a great way of explaining how to break down each part of the stroke without it being overwhelming. The support drills help you take what you have practised during the session back to your local pool. I would highly recommend speedy swimming for anyone who is looking to improve their stroke.

Tough sessions, but you get built up steadily to whatever your choice of distance is depending on if you're looking at triathlon or just swimming.

Nick is very easy to chat to and he gives great advice if you're feeling frustrated with factors which you feel haven't gone or aren't going how you liked or expected them to.

He caters to the number of hours you feel you can achieve each week, but you need to be patient if you want help to achieve your goals but he'll get you there. Personally I've been training to complete an Ironman, although my training hasn't gone brilliantly due to extenuating circumstances occurring regularly due to work; I've tried my best to fit in the sessions as best I can with what I have at the time.

You'll be very happy with the results Nick can help you to achieve, and on completing an Ironman I'm hoping to continue working with him to achieve a slot on the Team GB Age Groups for a sprint or standard distance race in either duathlon or triathlon.

I get alot of value from a swim analysis video. Being able to view your flaws back with Nick is very beneficial. I got a focused improvement plan that is making a difference to my swimming.

Nick had helped my enormously in two areas. Firstly learning to swim much more efficiently, not just that but going from someone who had an atrocious front crawl to actually feeling like a proper swimmer. The endless pool sessions were really key in being able to see where I needed to improve and what to focus on. His tailored programme really helped. During lockdown he also helped me to focus on keeping up ‘swimming’ strength with a comprehensive plan using swim bands.

The second area was the overall triathlon training. Over the course of three months I felt like I was improving so much better following his structured plans on Training Peaks. And again during lockdown he encouraged me to try new ways to compete such as the Virtual Ironman series.

As a person he is really enthusiastic, open to new ideas and also sensitive to picking up on periods where I was just ‘not feeling it’ and helping me break through that too.

I’d fully recommend him as a coach.

I enjoyed a swimming analysis clinic with speedy swimming and it was a well planned rewarding experience. I found the same detailed planning useful during the technique squad too.

Joining the Speedy Swimming Tuesday sessions have been amazing back when we could swim in the pool. The sessions are great working through different elements/phases. Nick manages to concentrate on each individual and give pointers along the way. I managed to knock 20secs off my 100m. Can’t wait to get back into the pool and hit these sessions. In Lockdown the Tuesday night swim band/exercise sessions have allowed me to become stronger. Also highlights how important cross training is for when we do get back to the pool. Again Nick is great at the coaching/teaching points. I have always been a confident sea swimmer but again I have learnt so much more at the sessions in Southsea, entering and exiting the water in an efficient way. Getting to know the tides and swell. I can not recommend it enough. The video analysis was pretty enlightening too and really highlights the points to focus on and the tailored drills to work this.

Nick was excellent in his assessment of my swim stroke and diagnosis of what I needed to improve to get faster. I would highly recommend Speedy Swimming.

I enjoyed my 1 to 1 session in the pool and then a swim analysis video. It was nice to finally start realising I could correct my stroke better and swim open water. Over the last year I’ve become a swim teacher and working towards open water coaching this summer!

Highly recommend Nick. I got into swimming fairly late in life and had got about as far as I could trying to figure it out for myself and stumbled across Nick almost by accident when searching the web for good options for swim locations. Ended up doing a few video analysis sessions with Nick and this identified to me very rapidly what I was doing wrong and therefore where I need to focus which is incredibly useful. Nick is also very thorough in advising what drills to focus on and how to do them. Feel like I made a lot of progress and distance covered was proving that point – just a shame swimming was cut short last year by lockdown!

Nick is a fantastic coach! can't recommend working with him enough!

Pre-Covid, I swam every Tuesday night with the Speedy Swimming group. It was always a highlight of my week. The training from Nick was consistently positive, detailed and easy to respond to. For me, results did not come straight away. Nick's calm assurance that all I needed to do was unlearn some bad habits and practice specific drills and "it will come" was essential for me hanging in there. I'm glad I did because if felt like one evening things just started to 'click' and my times tumbled despite me feeling as if I wasn't working harder.

I swim at a traditional swimming club too and the differences are profound. With Nick, it's all about learning and practicing better technique which led to 'go slow to go fast'. It's an approach that worked for me because I found I could apply those techniques in the 'go go go' swimming at my other club: I could swim stronger and last longer.

The final thing I'd add is that the group of people I swam with were lovely.

Once Covid is over I'll be back with Speedy Swimming; I know there is a lot more for me to learn.

I can’t reccomend nick and speedyswimming enough, I came to see nick a weeks before a 70.3 with little confidence in my swimming, within a couple of times seeing nick and some small tweaks I was swimming much more efficiently and completed my first 70.3 in 36 minutes! Post pandemic I look forward to working with nick again!

I have been really impressed at how nick took me back to basics and rebuilt my front Crawl. I had been taught a long time ago and it just wasn't right. He has so much patience and is able to show the videos of where improvements can be made I would recommend Speedy Swimming to anyone from beginners to triathletes etc.

Nick has provided excellent coaching which has built my confidence in the pool.

Nick has been great. I booked a 10 week course with him with a specific achievement goal, that I have achieved in week 4. We have now moved the goal beyond my previous expectations.

I did three times one hour sessions with Nick and it really improved my tri swim times taking 2 1/2 minutes of my best swim over 750 mtrs prior to Nicks coaching! I will be back next year

I'd tried two swim instructors previously but was still struggling to do 25m and told Nick he would be my last teacher - I either cracked it or I'd quit. He rose to the challenge and had me managing 400m within a few months. There is still improvement to be made in technique, speed and endurance and I'm continuing to invest on Nick's great services; he is a fantastic teacher and a really nice and knowledgeable guy as well.
