Training ahead of a triathlon

I came across Hydroverse when I was looking to improve my swimming technique ahead of my first triathlon. I came back to swimming a year ago after being out of the pool for over 20 years but had no real idea of how well I was swimming or how well I could swim.

I have loved my sessions with Tiago (1hr every two weeks). They are challenging and I am pushed each session and through the training plan that he has created for me. As a result my swimming is now so much smoother and my technique continues to improves.

I would highly recommend Hydroverse if you, like me, are already a competent swimmer but are looking to improve further still.

More than just learning to swim

I’d been putting this off for a long time. Being in the water was never something I felt comfortable with, but I knew it was something I needed to face for myself. I researched and came across Hydroverse.

I ended up speaking to Tiago, who runs it, and what stood out straight away was that he didn’t just talk at me, he actually listened. I mean properly listened to where I was at and what I was worried about. That made taking the first step feel a lot less daunting. Even now, four sessions in, he still checks in, which says a lot.

I started with 1:1 lessons with Evi, genuinely my confidence wasn’t great. And honestly… she’s been incredible. Calm, patient, and really encouraging in a way that makes me started believing in myself.

I didn’t walk in feeling confident, but the environment they create just puts you at ease. No pressure, no judgement just steady, real progress.

If you’ve been putting it off like I did, I’d say just take the step with Hydroverse I nearly didn’t and I’m glad I did.
Evi & Tiago …. THANK YOU

Excellent swimming teacher

I've had a few teachers elsewhere and felt some lessons I didn't progress at all.

That is definitely not the case with Lorik at Hydroverse. I've made progress in every lesson. I've made great strides in each lesson, have overcome my anxiety and enjoy them too.
I definitely recommend Lorik at Hydroverse.

Great for adult swimmers wanting to improve technique

I’ve been meaning to start swim coaching for ages but struggled to find somewhere local so I was delighted to see Hydroverse open in between Kew and Richmond! Whilst I can swim, I wanted to learn a proper front crawl technique and Lorik personalised my lesson for this exact outcome. Within 4 weeks I am already swimming with my head underwater (something I haven’t managed in over 40 years!!) - really pleased with the teaching and support from both the coach and Ralph, who has always been really responsive to my many questions! Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their swimming technique.
