About the coach

Hi my name is Josh, founder and head coach of Swimace — a specialist swim program focused on helping triathletes, open water swimmers, and competitive swimmers reach their full potential.

At Swimace, I combine years of racing experience at the highest levels of triathlon with a proven coaching system that delivers results. Our approach blends technical precision with smart training design, tailored specifically to each athlete's needs and goals.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of coaching standout athletes who have gone on to achieve national and international success — including World Championship qualifications, Ironman 70.3 podium finishes, and breakthrough performances at the elite and age-group levels.

Through the Skillest app, I’m excited to offer video analysis, personalized feedback, and structured swim development plans to help swimmers at all levels unlock better efficiency, faster times, and more confidence in the water.

Whether you're chasing a personal best or aiming for the podium, I'm here to help you swim faster, smarter, and stronger.

Frequently asked questions

What is an online swimming lesson?

An online swimming lesson is a way of learning swimming techniques and skills from a coach or instructor via the internet, using video analysis, live coaching, or online courses. On Skillest, you can receive private instruction with an elite swimming coach without needing to visit a pool in person. Simply record your swimming technique and send it to your coach along with your goals, questions, or any other details to help create a personalized training plan for you.

What are the benefits of an online lesson using Skillest?

Online golf lessons using Skillest offer many benefits, such as convenience, affordability, flexibility, and access to the largest selection of the most talented golf coaches in one place. Through video recordings, side by side comparisons, and conversations you have with your coach, you will receive comprehensive feedback on what you need to improve and how to improve these areas. When you get a lesson on Skillest, you don’t need to schedule a time or drive to your lesson. You can just record your swing and message your coach whenever you have questions.

How do I receive feedback from my coach?

You will receive feedback from your coach through the Skillest app. Your coach will record their own videos with their analysis as well as additional drills to work on and send them back to you inside the lesson. You can watch your coach’s analysis, which may include video, audio, text, or drawings and see the changes and improvements they suggest for your swing. You can also ask your coach follow-up questions you have, and chat with them through the app. You can also review your feedback and track your progress anytime on the app.

What are the different types of lesson plans I can purchase?

Skillest offers a variety of plans and packages available for purchase. You can purchase a single online lesson, lesson packages, monthly subscriptions, or live Zoom lessons. Many coaches also offer video-based courses in addition to one-on-one coaching. Note: Not every coach will offer each type of lesson plan available.

What are Courses?

Courses are a series of instructional videos created by expert coaches that cover a wide range of sport-specific topics. Whether you're looking to refine your technique, master strategy, boost your fitness, or enhance your mental game, our courses are designed to help you excel in your chosen sport—be it golf, swimming, cricket, basketball, or baseball.
