About Derek
Every swimmer brings a different relationship with the water. Some arrive excited and ambitious, others nervous or uncertain, while experienced swimmers may come looking for a small technical change that could make a significant difference. I enjoy discovering what motivates each person and understanding what they actually want from swimming. You may want to feel comfortable on holiday, improve your fitness, prepare for open-water swimming, become more efficient, or train toward a triathlon. Those goals deserve different approaches. My experience as a swimmer gives me the knowledge to work across different levels, but my responsibility as an instructor is to make that knowledge relevant to you. I am not interested in making every swimmer follow the same formula. I want you to understand your own strengths, recognize the areas that need development, and gradually become more confident in your ability. Good coaching should feel like guidance, not pressure.

For a nervous swimmer, progression cannot begin with performance—it begins with trust. I want you to feel that the water is a place where you can learn rather than somewhere you constantly have to fight against. We may start with simple breathing, floating, movement, or supported exercises before gradually introducing more independent swimming. As your confidence grows, we increase the distance, reduce assistance, and introduce new skills at a pace that feels manageable. For swimmers who already feel comfortable in the water, the same principle applies in a different way: we work toward greater control, efficiency, endurance, or confidence in more demanding situations. My role is to recognise when you are ready for the next step without making you feel pressured into it. Progress is not about comparing your journey with another swimmer's. It is about helping you notice how much more comfortable, capable, and confident you are becoming.
