Customized Practices

Each month we will customize 2-3 practices for you (depending on your training routine/volume). Not generic workouts, but sets specifically tailored to your needs for maximum improvements. Repeat each practice once per week for 4 weeks and then submit more video for analysis. 

Training Peaks

We will the Training Peaks platform to deliver and track all your practices, comments and feedback. Get into the habit of writing a few notes after each practice. The more we know about each practice, the better we can help you progress. Keeping all this information in one place for easy access to all your video analysis, feedback and notes.

Corrective Exercises

Based on your video analysis or private lessons we will recommend 1-2 corrective exercises for you to focus on over the next month. It's important here not to overwhelm with too much information. Let's figure out whats most important for you to work on right now and get to it. Use the drill demo library to ensure you are doing the exercise correctly.

Weekly Review

The key distinction between being coached and simply following a training plan. We're not leaving you alone to figure it out for yourself. We'll be watching and reviewing your training every week and each month we will have a check in call to discuss progress, ask questions and make changes if needed. 

Video Analysis

Film yourself swimming and doing drills from a few different angles, then upload the videos to Dropbox. We will analyse the video and set up a Zoom call to discuss your strengths, weaknesses and what drills you need to practice to develop better habits. Public pools are much more open to filming these days, just tell the lifeguard what you are doing and it is usually fine.

Private Lessons

Private lesson space is limited and demand is high, so the Gold package offers a great deal combining a priority access to a private lesson every month and swim practices tailored specifically to your needs. Nothing replaces having coach eyes on you while swimming.

Who Is This For?

Anyone who can swim 25m non-stop and wants to improve their technique, endurance and speed.  So long as you are comfortable in the water, curious to learn and dedicated to a consistent routine we can definitely make progress.

4-Month Minimum

Results are not going to happen overnight. It will take time, patience and dedication from both of us therefore a 4-month minimum will give us better opportunity for improvement. Negotiable for Vancouver based swimmers who are able to attend group courses in person.

Still To Come...

More demo videos, troubleshooting and FAQ videos, meet ups and social swims, mobility testing, injury prevention assessments, strength and conditioning workouts, social media groups and if the demand is there potentially an online membership platform and maybe even an app!

I started online coaching with Stewart to keep me motivated, accountable, and challenged during the pandemic.   Stewart creates structured training plans that beautifully balance both my OW swimming goals with my focus on speed + strength in the pool. Stewart keeps the training interesting and challenging. The weekly feedback has forced me to reflect on my progress, and Stewart’s guidance has been so valuable. I love training with Stewart because he’s genuinely interested in my physical and mental well-being, in addition to my goals in the water.

I took online coaching with Stewart for 4 months right up until the pandemic caused pool closures! Stewart provided me with 3 practices per week, change them every month, and we would share a training log which Stewart would regularly review and provide comments on. We also met periodically to discuss how the coaching was going. With specific practices, and having to provide detailed reports including split times, it

kept me disciplined and focused. Stewart always showed keen interest in my swimming.  I would highly recommend it.

My swimming has improved so much since I started working with Coach Stewart. I'm faster and more efficient, and no longer plagued with neck and shoulder pain. He keeps my workouts fresh and interesting and this has helped me stay engaged and consistent with my training. I strongly recommend Coach Stewart for anyone wanting to improve their swim skills.
