Swim Smooth was founded in Perth, Australia in 2004 by head coach Paul Newsome. Two decades on, the methodology is delivered by Certified Coaches in more than 119 countries — and endorsed at the highest levels of swimming and triathlon.
What started as a small adult squad at Claremont Pool is now a global coaching standard. The idea was — and remains — brutally simple: coach the swimmer in front of you, not a textbook stroke.
Twenty years of research, video analysis and pool-deck experience have shaped the Swim Types framework, the CSS training system, and the certification pathway that now unites hundreds of coaches around the world.
We are really proud to modernize our coach education processes through access to Swim Smooth's patented technology.
Supporting British Triathlon coach members nationwide with certified education, video analysis tools and squad coaching frameworks.
“Swim Smooth have been supporting triathletes in Britain and globally for many years and we're really excited to bring them on board as a partner.”
— Michelle Hayden, Head of Coaching, British Triathlon
