The Programme

Six Pillars of
Triathlon Swimming

Our curriculum is built on six core training pillars that take you from pool lap swimmer to race-confident triathlete — systematically and efficiently.

01

Stroke Technique

Precise front crawl mechanics covering arm entry, high-elbow catch, pull pattern, rotation, and kick timing to eliminate drag and maximise propulsion.

02

Breathing & Rhythm

Bilateral breathing, controlled exhale technique, and the mental composure to stay calm when the race gun fires and the pack closes in.

03

Speed & Endurance

Interval sets, threshold training, and race-pace simulation designed to build aerobic capacity and sustain speed across sprint, Olympic and 70.3 distances.

04

Sighting & Navigation

Pool drills that directly translate to open-water sighting — minimal head lift, straight-line efficiency, and drafting off other athletes' feet.

05

Race Strategy

Pacing plans, mass-start tactics, wetsuit transitions and the psychological tools to execute your swim-to-bike plan under race-day pressure.

06

Performance Tracking

Regular time-trial benchmarks, stroke-rate data and coach feedback to quantify your improvement and keep training purpose-driven.

Our Method

How We Coach

Great triathlon swimming isn't just about fitness. It's about swimming smart.

01

Initial Swim Assessment

Every athlete starts with a structured assessment to identify your strengths, weaknesses, and the quickest route to improvement.

Technique-First Drilling

What Our Athletes Say

Real Results,
Real People

"I've been using this service to help train for my first triathlon, and I've been really impressed with how the business operates. Tiago is incredibly friendly, responsive, and communicative, always making sure my training plan is tailored to my specific needs. Evi, my swimming coach, is fantastic. She's kind and supportive, but also knows how to push me during lessons, which has really helped me improve both my technique and stamina. I would definitely recommend Hydroverse to anyone looking to learn how to swim or improve their swimming technique!"
