SwimFast Dubai - The Best Triathlon Swim Squad In The Middle East

Personal attention to squad setting

Learn to swim fast, fix your technique and build your swim fitness alongside Dubai’s friendliest triathletes.

Welcome to swimfast dubai!

I’m thrilled you’ve decided to check out how I can help you transform your swimming. If you’re an Age Group Triathlete that’s ready stop “just surviving” the swim, this is the perfect place for you. I hope you are ready close the gap on your competition in the water and getting on your bike feeling fresher!

My name is Rory and for years I’ve only worked 1-1 with an exclusive group of triathletes. But now, in partnership with Absolute Swimming Academy I’m opening up my coaching to you too.

I’ve learned one thing coaching triathletes of all shapes, sizes, ages and abilities; each one of us is unique. While the fundamental principles of moving through the water are the same for everyone, we all swim differently. But more than that, we all have different needs and goals.

That’s why SwimFast Dubai’s sessions offer you personal attention within a friendly and competitive squad environment.

You’re guaranteed individual stroke guidance during every session. We’ll combine that with workouts that are appropriate to you’re ability so you leave the pool with that feeling of being “just a little bit tired” 🙂 but hugely motivated by your progress and accomplishments.

Get booked in for your first workout (it’s free)! I’m excited to see you in the water at our next session!

Is swimfast dubai for me?

I work with adults of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds.

Talent, ability and ego are put aside as we prove to ourselves (and everyone that’s ever doubted us) that we still “got it”.

Just starting out? Perfect, we’ll set you up with great stroke technique and build up your swim fitness so you feel unshakably confident.

Experienced swimmer? Awesome, we’ll correct the stubborn bad stroke habits you’ve developed, increase your race pace, and teach you how to approach the swim strategically.

When you jump into a lane in one of our pools, you’ll immediately feel like you are exactly where you need to be to achieve your goals.

I make sure every session is focused on getting results, learning something new, enjoying the people around you and having tons of fun in the process.

What exactly does that mean?

It means that during every workout you will:

Discover how to swim faster and more efficiently so you can hit your bike with intensity and purpose instead of feeling like you need to play catch up.
Build rock-solid technique that allows you to move smoothly through the water instead of fighting to just cover the distance
Gain an understanding of your pacing so you can maintain consistent speed throughout your swim instead of starting out fast and then feeling your speed drop off as you run out of steam
Learn to confidently handle anything that comes your way during the swim on race day instead of feeling like you just need to survive before the real race starts.
Meet triathletes that are already swimming at a level you one day hope to achieve and who are excited to show you how they do it.

If that is something you want to be a part of, then the answer is YES! SwimFast Dubai is for you!

What makes him unique is his ability to get the best out of you and motivate you while still leaving you with a smile on your face.

Rory’s sessions will tire you but will leave you with a smile and a sense of accomplishment.

I am really enjoying the swimming… I feel so much more comfortable in the water now including the open water. Your sessions have and continue to make a massive difference.

Can my children join in too?

I’ve spent the last 6 years specializing in working with triathletes and adults. Swimming presents a unique struggle for most adults, especially when they never learned to swim as children. I have dedicated all of my time to learning exactly what works and what doesn’t for adult triathletes. My goal is to become the very best in the world at this. To do that I have decided to only work with adults and triathletes. So SwimFast Dubai’s Squad sessions open to anyone 18 and older.

The good news is that I know a group of coaches that would LOVE to coach your children. Let me introduce Sarah and her team at Absolute Swimming Academy to you.

The Absolute team is highly experienced in teaching children of all ages to love the water and swim fast! They offer effective group sizes and a friendly and supportive atmosphere that will ensures your children become confident and competent swimmers!

Squad Program

You have a choice of three different types of squad workouts each week.

Each workout has a very clear focus and purpose to help make sure you are making the tangible progress you are after. Click on any of the three session types below to help give you an understanding of the purpose of each workout… and then scroll down below to see the schedule and get booked in!

Technique Sessions- Focused on Improving Technique

Time Slot: Sunday PM
Session Length: 60 minutes
Capacity: 15 Swimmers

The Technique Skills & Drills Session is centered on helping you refine technique and build efficiency in the water. The session is primarily drill focused interspersed with light aerobic (low intensity) sets and some descend work (we start easy and end faster). This session is a perfect way to recover from a heavy weekend of training and set up good habits for the week to come. You can expect feedback on your technique, what you are doing wrong and exactly how to correct your stroke faults during this session.

Threshold Sessions- Focused on Building Fitness

Time Slot: Monday PM, Tuesday AM, Wednesday PM
Session Length: 60-75 minutes
Capacity: 15 Swimmers

The Technique-Threshold Sessions are the “bread & butter” sessions of the Swim Squad Programming. Technique work and stroke instruction is the focus during the warm up and early part of the workout. We then transitioning to threshold training focused on CSS Pace (you can read more about threshold training and CSS Pace here) Interval distances will range from 50m to 800m with goal times set individually (and by lane) based on each triathletes individual CSS Pace. You can expect feedback on your technique and your pacing with the goal of helping you become more efficient during this session.

Race Prep Sessions- Focused on Being Ready to Race

Time Slot: Wednesday AM
Session Length: 75-90 minutes
Capacity: 15 Swimmers

The Race Prep Sessions are the toughest workout of the week. They are designed to help you get fit, comfortable and confident about attacking the “washing machine” that you’re likely to be a part of on race day. Skills and drills tend to be open water specific, but this may differ depending on where we are in the season. Interval distances will range from 50m to 1500m and will mix CSS Pace work with Speed work and short rest interval sets. You can expect feedback on your technique and your pacing with the goal of helping you become a better triathlon swimmer during this session.
