“From Olympians to amateurs, underPaul we all succeed. Under Paul, I went from top 20 to top 5 in the London triathlon T3series.” -Matt Maginn, Regional triathlon academy squad 2015-18

“Over 2 years with Paul as mycoach I not only continued to swim good PBs in the pool, I also developedmy ability to swim efficiently and effectively in open water, and poolswimming, for triathlon. This has been achieved with swimmingapproximately half the swim training hours that I was doing previously,which allowed me to train more effectively for the other triathlondisciplines. Paul’s coaching completely changed my perspectives ofswimming for the better, and I’ve not looked back since!” -MichaelEagling, Elite junior triathlete and British Triathlon Super Series;national master swimming
