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.

Thanks for another excellent lesson. Your comments are very useful. In butterfly I used to enter the hands in front of my face with thumbs sometimes even touching. Now that I try to enter them shoulder width I tend to go to wide, I think. And the comments on the turn are so useful too.
