Paolo’s attention to detail is everything. From the planning of the sessions, his eye for identifying tweaks in technique and ability to cater for all swimmers is fantastic. Throughout the season, there is a balance between technique, endurance and speed sessions which are timetabled in line with calendar events.

I’ve been swimming with Paolo for a couple of years now - as well as creating a super-friendly squad atmosphere, he is great because he gives personalized tips to improve technique for each person in the pool.

Since I joined Paolo's pool sessions, my swimming technique has improved a lot and my overall swim progressed significantly. He is extremely attentive to correct stroke and hand placement and even while a full class is under way, he takes time to individually point out ways to improve. I did a stroke analysis session with Paolo and could immediately improve my body position and bring down my times even more.
