About the coach
Welcome! I’m Brent Hayden, a 4x Olympian, Olympic Medalist, and World Champion, and I help swimmers & triathletes transform their technique to swim faster, smoother, and with less effort.
Most swimmers waste energy with inefficient strokes, but with my expert video analysis, I break down exactly what’s holding you back and give you a clear plan to fix it.
My proven methods—including my Open Arm Recovery (OAR) technique—have helped thousands of swimmers drop time, increase efficiency, and eliminate shoulder pain & bad habits that slow them down.
Whether you're a triathlete looking to get to T1 faster with more gas in the tank left to crush your bike & run, a competitive or masters swimmer looking to shave off those hundredths, or even swimming for fun, I’ll help you unlock your fastest, most effortless stroke while avoiding shoulder pain.
If you're ready to swim smarter, not harder, let’s get started.

what can I say....he is top of the world swimmer so you probably wont have a better trained eye to check and instructions to improve. I kind of can see some of my bad points before, but can't even realize how to start to work on them .... helps a lot to prioritize one by one focusing in each point... and it is so detailed in the observation. time is shaving by itself with the improvement in efficiency. love it. good decision.

I am an adult onset swimmer with some "skills" that need correction as I am preparing for a long outdoor swim. Brent and Nadina are both positive and encouraging with a set of skills and drills that I am sure will help me improve. Brent and Nadina are brilliant swimmers..patient..positive and able to convey what I SHOULD be doing effectively. Not only am I returning for additional lessons but I have signed up for their on line coaching. I have experienced MANY coaches and I can attest that there are none as excellent as these two.
