TESTIMONIALS

"As a marathon runner making the transition to training for an Ironman I have found the swim portion extremely daunting.  I started off in a group swim class once a week, and enjoyed the social aspect but I was not progressing at all. After my first session with Todd I could breathe bilaterally and by my third session I had decreased my stroke count from 27 to 22 per 25m. An amazing feeling. I felt stronger and faster, I was shocked that I could improve that much so quickly! Todd consistently tells me what I need to improve but always ensures I am aware of what I do really well already. When we first met I could only swim about 100m without stopping – but within a few weeks I can easily swim 1000m straight and I'm doing 3000m workouts!!! Todd is a great coach and role model and really makes you want to get in the water and do better. Thank you for helping me gain confidence in the water and turning swimming from a dreaded activity to one I love doing!"  ~ Renate C.

Last year I began working with Todd to help prepare me for the Kingston Tri (2000m swim). Todd's one-on-one coaching and nutrition plan was a game changer. As I move from a novice to a more experienced swimmer I am calling on Todd once more to help me prepare for Ironman Muskoka 70.3. Whatever the goal, whatever your swimming level, Todd will have a plan for you." ~Peter D.



"As an age group triathlete I have been swimming on my own for just over two years. I finally decided the time was right to look for a swim coach to take my training to another level. Since working with Todd I have gained valuable insight into my two biggest weaknesses; firstly beginning to develop proper swim technique and secondly learning how to build structured swim workouts that have greatly enhanced my fitness level. My only regret now is not having started sooner! Looking forward to seeing more good results, thanks Todd!"
~Colin M.

"I began working with Todd to improve my stroke efficiency for an upcoming triathlon event. Todd is highly motivated, dedicated, and truly cares about how well you progress. Within a few sessions I felt stronger and technically better equipped for my upcoming race. Todd challenges you to strive to be your best. I look forward to training with him again for my 2013 season."
~Lynette T.
