- Q Do I need a swimming coach?
- A A coach isn’t strictly required to become a better swimmer, but it certainly can pay dividends. If you put in the hours with a good balance of endurance swimming and drills to hone your technique, you will undoubtedly improve over time. However, if you are self-taught then you are much more likely to reach a plateau than you are with a coach. A properly qualified coach will highlight issues with your technique, often using video analysis, to highlight every aspect of your stroke. Many swimmers find that it’s a worthwhile investment to have an in-depth session with a coach to go through all aspects of your technique. The coach will devise a tailored training programme which you can then work on in your own time, with the potential for periodical follow-up sessions to check your progress.
