Client Testimonials
Kate Beattie - July ‘19
“I had been swimming indoors and open water for about 5 years, since my kids started swim training. I was trying hard , 3-4 times a week but not seeing much improvement in my indoor or outdoor swim times. I d tried a couple of clubs and organised sessions but it was hard to make the times they were on. Joining SwinWod changed everything! The sessions are personalised, keep swimming interesting whilst really challenging me. The drills and videos have helped my technique massively with the addition of occasional 1:1 sessions with Emma Gage when I felt I needed more direct feedback. In a year I have taken minutes off my mile time, beaten my personal bests at everything from 400m to 5 km and am about to do my first 5mile race. I have also learnt to sprint butterfly and flip turn with style! I really look forward to each weeks new programme, can t recommend Emma/ SwimWod highly enough.”

“Emma's home programs are great. I have no equipment and my fitness was dreadful after having a baby. After having a chat she has programmed 3 sessions a week for me since being in lockdown and tailored them perfectly to my needs, ability and the equipment I have access to.
I love doing her 30 minute workouts.....and even if some of them make me ache for days I am starting to feel so much fitter and stronger. I would recommend her to anyone. She listens to what your goals are and designs a program to perfectly suit you.”

“Thanks to SwimWOD I have gone from someone very under-confident and fearful in the water to someone who actually enjoys swimming! I’ve done SwimWOD group classes and had some one to one coaching with Emma and it’s made such a difference to my swimming technique, my fitness and my confidence. The sessions are fun and Emma always has bespoke coaching tips for everyone which means you really make progress. I would recommend to anyone looking to improve their swimming or build confidence in the water.”

“I have struggled so much with front crawl in the past that I eventually gave it up and just swam breaststroke. Emma gave me my confidence back with both strokes and taught me proper movement in just a few sessions. On top of that, she taught me how to dive and coached me in Olympic Lifting. She is gifted at taking fear away. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone. I can't wait to carry on with an online programme!”

“Fantastic online coaching with a great variety of technique drills and some brilliant videos explaining all. Really enjoyed the programme. Thoroughly recommend to enhance any level of swimming.”
