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.

Lesson 1 with Brent was illuminating. Brent's analysis of my swimming stroke was practical and supported by an obvious depth of knowledge. If you are looking for someone to analyse your stroke/s and to work with you to refine it, Brent is your person. He also has a quick response time. No waiting and wondering. Upload a video or two and let the magic happen. I am looking forward to learning more with Brent and improving over time.

Just had a first lesson for my daughter and was amazed how quickly Brent responded. We are delighted with the feedback. It was so detailed, every part of her stroke was analysed and everything he explained made so much sense. We now know the areas we need to work on, the order to start working on them and the drills to do that! I highly recommend a lesson with Brent, we will definitely be back for more lessons to help my daughter improve her technique!

So happy with this experience, from the course videos to the analysis everything is so well describe and for sure he is more than able to find the room to improve. A must have to refine technique.
