I would thoroughly recommend Graham to anyone looking for advice and guidance on all aspects of open water swimming, from general water safety, places to swim, open water techniques and also racing tactics.

During 2020 he helped our son progress from being an absolute beginner with little open water confidence, to taking part very successfully in his first mile event in Ullswater.
We are looking forward to seeing more of Graham this summer!

Having previously taken part in an excellent group skills session with Graham at Derwent Reservoir, I booked a 1-1 session at Tyne Green Hexham last year. Graham has a great knowledge of the local area and gave good advice on judging conditions and swimming safely. He helped me with technique and confidence while transitioning from pool swimming to open water and was able to recommend other local swimming spots and events to look out for.

I had a 1:1 open water session with Graham yesterday and He’s very good at what he does. Explains everything clearly and breaks it down bit by bit to make sure you get a good understanding, as well as why you’re doing each thing. He has corrected my stroke technique which I can now practice in the pool ready for next year’s races!
