Just because you might not live in sunny Perth, doesn't mean that you have to miss out on all the fun! Choose from one of our 3 triathlon coaching options most suitable for you:
Our unique Online Coaching Program, tailored to your individual needs
This is our premium individual coaching session and one which is highly popular with the triathlon community here in Perth. Let Head Coach, Paul Newsome, take you through a 75-minute analysis session of your swim stroke, utilising the now world-reknowned coaching principles of the "Swim Smooth" training program.
During the 75-minute consultation you will be filmed above and below the water utilising our unique underwater professional video equipment. This footage will then be played back to you in slow-motion with pauses taken to exemplify certain aspects of your stroke that need addressing. This is a little like a summary session in which you are educated as to why certain things are happening, but most importantly focussing your attention on 1 or 2 aspects of your stroke which will have the greatest significant impact on your efficiency.
Its all too easy to highlight 101 things that you need to change, but in reality this information is very difficult to process (if not impossible) whilst you are swimming, as such the Swim Smooth methdology is all about keeping things as simply as possible and allowing you to really understand why you are being taught certain things.
Following the analysis on pooldeck, you will be taken back into the pool and directed through a series of drills and techniques relevant to your stroke and improving your efficiency. These will be bite-size exercises designed to enhance your skill and proficiency. The format of the session will be very progressive, leading you up to the final few laps where everything is brought together again. You will never be asked to think about more than one thing at once, as to do so will be detrimental to your learning ability.
You will get far more from this session than you imagined possible and if you've been "hanging on the fence" wondering about how best to improve your swimming, you are strongly advised to take 75-minutes of your time to finally get your stroke analysed so that meaningful progression can be made.
$150.00 for 1st session; $95.00 subsequent sessions.
The PAYG Daily Triathlon Squad forms the foundation of our TEAM CORE coaching services here in Perth, Western Australia. The program runs year-round, with usually just a brief 2-week break at the start of May and over the Christmas Holiday period.
Each week we have a total of 12 sessions to choose from including 5 swim sessions; 2 bike sessions; 2 run sessions; 1 brick session and 2 core stability sessions. This makes our program not only the most comprehensive and structured program in Perth, but most likely anywhere else you care to TRI!
We have a very simple PAYG Payment Card System where athletes can choose to buy 10, 25 or 50 session denomination cards with expiry dates based upon frequency of use:
Athletes choosing one of our great new Session Card payment options do so with the knowledge that they are getting great value with maximum flexibility to cater for a variety of personal circumstances. Now you have the freedom to be able to miss a session here or there for whatever reason and then make up additional sessions the following week if necessary.
Also included as part of these sessions are 3 swim sessions each week, focussed primarily on developing your stroke technique and efficiency in a smaller group environment. These sessions take place every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9.30m and are ideally suited to those either on flexi-time or with young children. The sessions run for 60 minutes and typically cover ~ 1.8 to 2.6km in this time, with minimum ability being the confidence to complete 200m freestyle continuous (even if without great form, initially). These sessions are called Time:4:Me and you can find out more about them here. The same PAYG Payment Session Card can be used for these sessions, ensuring maximum flexibility for swimmers to go between these sessions and our earlier squad session.
We would highly recommend a 1-2-1 Video Analysis Session & Stroke Correction session prior to commencement of the Time:4:Me Program. This then ensures you have a specific, targetted goal with your stroke to work on and familiarises you with some of the concepts and drills that we typically use in the session.

Our whole emphasis as a triathlon training squad here in Perth, is to build consistency and commitment to your training through the unique camararderie that we foster within The TEAM CORE. This has been shown time and again to lead to optimal results and a longevity in your enjoyment of the sport. Through that longevity and consistency come performances that you may never have believed that you had in you.
Each year we look to select several major races which athletes within the squad, and those who are thinking of joining, will enjoy building up for together as a TEAM unit. These events cover the whole spectrum of race distances from sprint to Ironman and typically run from 8 to 24 weeks in duration.
$$$ A Massive 60% Saving on Your Training Fees!!! $$$
Each athlete who registers for one of these Race-centric Training Programs is able to access any or all of our PAYG Daily Triathlon Sessions and just pay one upfront price for the duration of the program. This typically results in a saving of over 60% on your per-session-fees. You will also receive your very own username and password and be set-up with one of our unique online coaching programs ensuring that if you are away with work or on holiday and cannot access the squad sessions, you will know (in advance) exactly what you need to do and when to ensure your continual progression. This account in itself if worth over $125 per month!

Swim Smooth is proud to be able
to offer numerous 1 and 2-day Swim Smooth Clinics at various locations
around the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada and the USA in 2008.
Our full schedule can be viewed
here.
The Swim Smooth Clinic is a theory
and practical based workshop which includes group under water
& surface videography and subsequent analysis to help you
improve your swimming efficiency. The courses typically run for 1-day from
9:00am to 6:00pm and are suitable
for any swimmer capable of completing 200m continuous
freestyle and looking to improve their technique and speed. The
practical sessions themselves are very low-key in terms of intensity
and as such will suit a broad spectrum of triathletes and swimmers
capable of completing 1500m in 45 mins and faster.
Depending upon the season, we offer:
1-day pool efficiency clinics for up to 12
people with full video analysis featuring 3 pool practical sessions,
land-based strength / core / flexibility work and 4 theory sessions.
2-day pool & open water clinics for up
to 12 people. The first day is a pool efficiency Clinic as per
above, with the second half-day being an open water skills course
with both practical and theory elements.
A lasting insight into how to improve your
swimming in the longterm, backed up with the support of a very
encouraging and motivating group of coaches.
*Each swimmer will have the option of a discount
off the cost of a subsequent one2one Video Analysis and Stroke Correction session which is
the perfect compliment to a Swim Smooth Clinic and will provide
you with an in-depth look at your individual stroke with subsequent
under water and above water video analysis. Whilst at the Clinics
we will provide you with some good individual feedback on your
stroke, for a totally comprehensive analysis of your stroke a one2one Video Analysis and Stroke Correction Session is
the ultimate way of improving your swim. Think of the Clinic as
a great educational tool to learn how to swim more efficiently
and understand the fundamentals behind smooth freestyle, with
the one2one work being the "icing on the cake."
Group Numbers:
Each Swim Smooth Clinic
will have a maximum of 12 swimmers, with a minimum of 8 being
required to run the course. Clubs who wish to run a shortened
version of the full Clinic may do so with larger numbers upon request.
