performance sports coaching

Evolve
Technique and performance driven coaching from Robin Brew, Olympic swimmer, professional triathlete and international coach since 1988. In person in Lanzarote, or online wherever you train.

Developing your speed and efficiency

Better performance starts with better fundamentals. We specialise in technical correction and step-by-step skill development for Masters, age-group, fitness and open-water swimmers, for triathletes, and for para and adaptive athletes. Our aim is simple: to find what is limiting your speed and efficiency, show you exactly what needs to change and why, and then work with you until the change holds under pressure.

Coaching is available as 1-to-1 drop-in sessions, 3, 5 and 7-day technical courses for individuals and groups of up to 12, and online personal coaching for those who train elsewhere. Sessions start at £99, and courses start at £390 per person, with video analysis included in every course.

Our coaching services

Swimming

01

For Masters, age-group, fitness, open-water and para swimmers

Gains in speed and efficiency are proportionate to gains in technique, which is why we start there:

  • We identify what is limiting your efficiency, rather than what is merely noticeable.
  • We film you above and below the water so you can see precisely what to change and why.
  • We target the adjustments you will feel in the same session, not in six months.
Drop-in sessions from £99. Courses from £390 per person.

Triathlon

02

For Ironman, 70.3, standard and sprint athletes

We work on the technical proficiency that regular training rarely has time for, across all three disciplines:

  • Swim: breathing, timing, propulsion, pace control and open-water skills.
  • Bike: efficient pedalling, pace development and handling.
  • Run: stride length, foot plant, drills and economy of effort.

Plus transition practice, which is the discipline most athletes never rehearse.

Drop-in sessions from £99. Courses from £390 per person.

Online personal coaching

03

For anyone with a specific performance goal and the commitment to reach it

Coaching that fits your life rather than the other way round:

  • Bespoke programming built around your goal, your ability and the time you actually have.
  • Purposeful daily sessions with clear, measurable targets and the reasoning behind them.
  • Regular review of your data and video so the plan adapts as you do.

Also the home of our HYROX, Driathlon and endurance-challenge coaching, including ocean rowing.

Online personal coaching from £175.

About Robin

Natasha Brew

Detailed video analysis

Natasha films every athlete above and below the water or in individual disciplines so that what you feel in the water or in the action can be compared with what is actually happening. It is often the moment a technical change finally makes sense.

About Natasha
Natasha Brew - Swim Craft videographer

Precision coaching. Proven craft.

Our promise

We will work with you every step of the way, explain the reasoning behind every change we ask you to make, and be honest with you about what is realistic and what is not. Improvement is rarely a straight line, and we would rather you understood why than simply followed instructions.

Our method

We use our 5 Pillar Method to break performance plateaus. It combines Robin’s four decades of coaching with Natasha’s video feedback to address the root cause of a technical inefficiency rather than its symptoms, so that you understand the mechanics behind every change and can reproduce it without us standing on the poolside.

Our 5 Pillar Method

We work with you to identify, visualise, execute, sustain, and progress towards your performance goals.

1. Identify

We begin with a thorough assessment of your current technique to isolate the improvements that will make the biggest difference.

  • We analyse your movement patterns to find the specific faults that are slowing you down.
  • We deliberately limit the number of changes, because two well-made changes are worth more than six half-made ones.

2. Visualise

We use video from the camera angles that best expose the fault, so that you can see exactly what needs to change.

  • We highlight the precise technical elements that require adjustment.
  • We translate a complex movement into a clear picture you can carry into the next session.

3. Execute

We break each technical change into steps you can act on with confidence.

  • We turn detailed feedback into simple, manageable adjustments.
  • We remove the overthinking, so that in the water you can concentrate on the task rather than the theory.

4. Sustain

We build the training habits and the confidence needed for a change to last.

  • We help you develop the consistency that turns a correction into a habit.
  • We look beyond the short-term fix, so that the improved technique still holds when you are tired and under pressure.

5. Progress

We make sure early gains compound into long-term development.

  • We turn quick technical wins into a continuous trajectory of improvement.
  • We scale your training intensity and targets as your technique allows, so that each milestone opens the next.

I have been working with Robin for around 18 months now, in which time I have performed beyond my expectations and reached new levels. Robin's coaching methods have clearly been tried and tested and they really do work!

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Robin to anyone. I’ve been lucky enough to have Robin coach me twice - and for two huge events; Race Across America in 2024 and again now to row across the Atlantic at the end of this year. His coaching knowledge is limitless and he has honestly transformed both my cycling and rowing capabilities.

The session was thoughtfully focused on relaxation, reducing tension, and improving technique at my own pace. The one-to-one format meant genuinely individual attention and a level of detail I’ve never experienced before.

A fantastic experience, I’m very much looking forward to the next session.

My partner Kinga and I are both very keen to book more sessions with Robin. It absolutely figures that he is an international elite coach, former Olympic swimmer and professional triathlete: he is exceptionally attentive, perceptive, supportive and friendly. Most importantly, the sessions were enormous fun. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

These guys are amazing. They have built a wonderful community that is welcoming and fun. They have boosted my confidence and fitness levels, and their coaching and passion were a big factor in my preparation for the World Championships and a subsequent podium finish. I could not have done it without them.
