Thanks Jason for explaining why at the start I had no feel for the water after the 10km swim. Stuck with the technique based session and managed to get some normality back into my stroke.

What a session - Jason was amazing!
Firstly, as someone who can competently swim in a pool but has picked up some bad habits over the years (and is very new to open water swimming) Jason made me feel welcome, confident that I would be able to address areas of improvement, and banished any imposter syndrome I may have turned up with as a new triathlete!
Secondly, Jason broke everything down into easy steps and helped me to focus on one thing at a time (as someone who is neurodiverse I can find too many instructions at once overwhelming, but Jason focused in and built on each element in turn).
Lastly, I would recommend Jason to anyone who was looking to focus on all aspects of swimming from beginner upwards.
Thanks again Jason and hope to see you again soon (with slightly less crossover next time :))

Absolutely amazing session this morning, really powered through the set and completed it all with my longest swim in pool to date.
It’s a great feeling to accomplish a goal and the encouragement from Jason is a great push too.
I do love the South West swim family and the best coach to Thankyou Jason

Great workout… and pleased to keep going to the end without pace plummeting. Really enjoyed the way the endurance work was interspersed with technique focus. Definitely worked hard - Garmin scored it 5/5 aerobic.

Amazing for improving your swimming technique. On point advise, evidence based analysis and clear examples. Highly recommend

This felt like a really useful session with lots to think about and some hard swimming. It’s motivating to get the feedback that my hand positioning was looking good/better.  Also pleased and surprised that the lap paces on Garmin look like I swam the 2 x 100 and 2x200 (that were meant to be “fast”) all at paces faster than my CSS pace. (Though I’m a bit worried I’ve got the pace wrong ) Garmin scored it 4.8 out of 5 for aerobic improvement so a good workout.

Jason helped greatly in pin-pointing some errors in my stroke and gave some great advice on how to correct these. Highly recommended!

Today I learnt about muscle memory and how I should have booked this one to one session at the start of this amazing sport called open water swimming. Sighting OMG.
Jason thank you for your patience, your demo both in the water and in the shallows.

Another great session working to our own CSS paces and catering for those on recovery or taper. Brilliant coaching as always

A session that gets tougher as you go … and I enjoyed it! I think I wasn’t  sure if I pushed myself hard enough … but Garmin scored it 4.2 on aerobic and even 2.2 anaerobic… so I’m pleased with that for a Monday evening
