Coaching

At Swimming Specialist, we’re a team of passionate swimming professionals with years of experience in the sport, both in the water and on the pool deck.

With over a decade competing and coaching at the highest level, we’ve trained under a wide range of protocols and methodologies. That means we truly understand what works, and more importantly, what works best for you and your goals.

Our expert-led programmes are personalised, motivating, and built on real experience.

Backed by knowledge and driven by passion, we’re here to help you push your limits – physically and mentally – and reach your full potential in the water.

We know firsthand how important it is for your training to fit around your goals and your daily routine. That’s why at Swimming Specialist, every swim and land-based workout we offer is 100% custom-made.

No generic plans, just training that makes sense for you. After all, it wouldn’t make sense to prepare for a marathon swim with sprint sets… or the other way around!

Whether you’re preparing for a marathon swim, your first triathlon, a pool race, or simply aiming to improve technique and fitness, your programme will reflect your goals, experience level, and lifestyle. From endurance sets and technique drills to strength training and mobility work, we design your plan to support steady, sustainable progress.

Asterios is a leading professional in the sport of open water swimming, and this becomes immediately clear when working with him. In the months leading up to the Paris Olympics, I relied heavily on his expertise in race planning and execution. As a tenured athlete himself, he brings a depth of knowledge and experience that is both practical and insightful. Working with him is a true pleasure, and I felt an immediate impact on my swimming performance.

Asterios has been coaching me throughout the 2024/2025 season, helping me prepare for top level events like BUCS, the Irish Open, and Nationals. His elite experience and technical approach have been crucial in refining my freestyle technique and race strategy.
