everything you need to know
Do I need to stay at the Barceló Lanzarote Active Resort to receive coaching?
No. While accommodation is available at the resort for convenience, you’re welcome to book your own lodging elsewhere in Costa Teguise or the surrounding area to suit your preferences and budget.
How far in advance do I need to book coaching sessions?
For guaranteed availability and preferred time slots, we recommend booking as early as possible. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, including same-day bookings, subject to pool and lane availability.
What ages do you coach?
We coach swimmers and triathletes aged 13 and over across all ability levels—from beginners to international competitors. Family coaching sessions can include younger children when booked as part of a family group.
What's the difference between individual coaching and 1-to-1 drop-in sessions?
Individual coaching refers to bespoke, structured programmes, typically over a long weekend or full week, designed for competitive swimmers or triathletes with specific goals. 1-to-1 drop-in sessions are flexible, single-hour sessions perfect for those already on holiday in Lanzarote who want focused technical work without committing to a multi-day programme. Both are one-on-one with Robin, but differ in duration and structure.
What's included in the video analysis?
Video analysis includes high-definition footage captured above and below the water. Depending on your chosen package, you’ll receive detailed voiceover feedback, graphical breakdowns of key technical points, and progress comparisons.
Can I combine coaching with a family holiday?
Absolutely. Many families book coaching sessions during their Lanzarote holiday. Whether it’s 1-to-1 drop-in sessions, age-group coaching for competitive swimmers, or family swim breaks, we tailor the experience to fit your schedule and goals.
How do I pay for coaching sessions?
Payment is required before coaching commences and is made via bank transfer. Full payment details will be provided when you receive your WhatsApp confirmation and booking details.
What if I've hit a plateau in my swimming and feel stuck?
This is exactly what we specialise in. Using detailed video analysis and decades of coaching experience, we identify the technical inefficiencies holding you back and provide clear, logical corrections that lead to immediate improvements.
Do you offer coaching for open water swimming?
Yes. We provide open water coaching in the safe, beautiful beaches, lagoons, and bays around Costa Teguise, along with pool time, focusing on sighting, navigation, pacing strategy, and race-specific skills. Robin was head coach of the GBR European Cup team and has extensive international open water racing experience.
What is personal coaching and how does it work?
Personal coaching with Robin is an ongoing, individualised programme delivered through the Training Peaks platform. Robin personally writes and plans all the session-by-session programmes, ensuring they are tailored specifically to your goals. You will receive bespoke plans, regular feedback, and continuous support directly from Robin himself.
This coaching approach is ideal for swimmers and triathletes committed to long-term development or performance athletes. It can also be combined with periodic in-person sessions in Lanzarote, at an additional cost, providing a comprehensive and personalised training experience.
