Triathlon Swim Coaching

Swim Coaching – Swim Squad

Our swim program is tailor-made for triathletes, open-water swimmers, and those who want to enhance their fitness levels through swimming. We offer high-quality coaching services, and all our coaching sessions are held at Turton Sports Centre in Bolton. Our swimmers have access to a 25m pool and various swim equipment to help them improve their swim efficiency and become faster swimmers. Our coaching team comprises highly qualified and experienced British Triathlon Level 2 and Level 3 coaches who ensure our participants receive the best training possible.

Our top priority is to provide you with the best swimming experience possible. To accomplish this, we grade each lane according to ability. This ensures that swimmers of similar skill levels are grouped. We also limit the number of swimmers per lane, which helps to prevent overcrowding and ensures everyone has enough space to swim comfortably.

If you’re curious about our previous sessions and want to see how we’ve done things in the past, we invite you to check out our Virtual Swim Squad. Here, you’ll find a library of some of our previous sessions.

We provide two options for our swimmers to choose from:

Option 1: Swimmers can pay a standing order of £24.00 per month, entitling them to attend one session per week on Monday or Thursday. This option is the most affordable and convenient way to join our squads.

Option 2: We also offer a limited Pay-As-You-Go option that is ideal for those who cannot commit every week. Swimmers can book individual sessions in advance using our booking app, Spond. The cost to attend as a PAYG member is £7.20, which includes the booking fee.

You don’t need a membership to join our sessions, and our friendly and supportive atmosphere makes everyone feel welcome and included.

Ironman & Open Water Swim Coaching

Many of our athletes are training for Ironman and other triathlons that require you to be an open water swimmer. Our sessions are designed to help you be an excellent open-water swimmer; some are Ironman and open-water specific.

We offer two weekly swim sessions, covering all abilities, as shown below.

Monday

7.15 pm – 8.15 pm

Our swim session on Mondays is designed to help experienced swimmers improve their endurance. The session is perfect for those swimming 400 meters in under 12 minutes. During the session, you will be challenged to swim a distance of around 2700 meters, which will help you build your endurance and stamina.
Head Coach Garrie will guide you and push you to your limits, ensuring you get the most out of the workout. This session is not for the faint-hearted but is a great way to challenge yourself and take your swimming to the next level.
After the session, you’ll feel tired but satisfied, knowing that you’ve accomplished something great. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to see you at our next session.

Thursday

7.45 pm - 8.45 pm

Our Thursday evening swim session is tailored for beginner to advanced swimmers who are looking to enhance their swimming technique.
Our experienced coaches use a range of specialised drills to target specific areas of technique such as breathing, body positioning, catch and pull.
We also provide individualized feedback and guidance to help each swimmer improve their technique. Whether you are looking to refine your technique for competitive swimming or simply looking to improve your overall swimming ability, our Thursday evening session is the perfect opportunity to take your swimming to the next level.

What our swimmers say about our sessions…

“I am a much more confident and efficient swimmer since starting my swimming journey with Peak XV Tri sessions.”

“Peak XV swim sessions are outstanding. The attention the coaches pay to the quality and content of the session brilliant.”

“I could barely swim when I joined the squad, and my technique was non-existent. With the sessions I am now confident and have taken off over a minute on my 100 metres time.”

“The sessions are great whether you’re training for an Ironman or simply want to be able to swim more efficiently.”

“Garrie and the team break the technique down and help you to improve your stroke.”

“Super friendly bunch, highly recommended.”

“I have attended the swim sessions for a number of years, they are superbly run, my technique and swim style have improved enormously.”

“The Monday sessions are varied and certainly are a challenge”
