Welcome to my blog.  I write my experiences and thoughts on swim coaching and swim technique.  I am an international swim coach (GB team Sydney 2000 & Athens 2004) and former international swimmer (Canadian team 1988 Seoul).

I currently run a swim school with my wife Alison Sheppard MBE.  I run swim clinics, swim camps and conduct private lessons in addition to the swimming lessons in our swim school.  The scope of these activities gives me a unique perspective of swimming ranging from two year olds screeching due to their face getting wet to retired adults who are terrified of the water all the way to swimmers who have been ranked number one in the world and others who have won para-Olympic medals.

The increasingly large number of clients that I work with in a one to one capacity teach me how to solve the myriad of issues that arise in swim training and technique that I previously had not been able to solve in a group setting.  I share this information with people who are interested in swimming.
