The Underwater Filming Guy


I am a licensed Australian coach and one of the country’s top Masters swimmers.
I pride myself on turning complicated skill development into simple, practical and incremental changes tailored specifically to you. There’s no one size fits all in swimming.
I've always had a love for water, but my late start to training shaped my empathy for swimmers who develop at different speeds, and fuels my belief that progress is always possible.
My expertise is built on a foundation of competitive swimming at the highest levels. From 20 second sprints to 20km open water races, I understand all strokes and speeds from both sides of the lens, and can help you work towards your goals
