At Big Blue, the focus is on honest, safe, and athlete-centred coaching. The goal is to help individuals reach their full potential and achieve their personal goals as swimmers and triathletes. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics of swimming or an experienced triathlete aiming to improve your performance, Big Blue has the expertise to assist you.
One of the key offerings at Big Blue is the provision of individual personalised coaching plans. These plans are tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each athlete, ensuring that they receive the guidance and support required to excel. The plans are delivered via Training Peaks, a renowned platform that allows for easy tracking and monitoring of progress.
For those seeking in-person coaching and feedback, Big Blue offers swim teaching and coaching with instant feedback through the use of radio communication while you swim. This real-time guidance allows for immediate adjustments and improvements in technique, enabling swimmers to make significant strides in their performance.
To further enhance the coaching experience, Big Blue provides detailed video analysis. Athletes can have their swimming recorded and analysed, with a copy of the video provided for personal review. This analysis helps identify areas for improvement and allows for targeted training to address specific weaknesses.
In addition to personalised coaching, Big Blue offers an array of services to cater to different needs. They provide bespoke one-off training plans, standard training plans for specific events, and group coaching sessions. The team also conducts strength and conditioning sessions to enhance overall fitness and performance.
Joining Big Blue comes with several member benefits, including discounts on their webshop and from partner establishments. This adds further value to the coaching experience and supports athletes in their journey towards excellence.
