In a nutshell, Eric is an awesome swim coach!

I had no freestyle experience when I started in January and I am, right now, returning from Nova Scotia where I completed my first 70.3 triathlon.

Everytime I met with Eric he met me exactly where I was and was able to help me improve my technique and challenge me just enough to keep me growing.

He always surprised me with his ability to diagnose my problem areas so quickly with just one length. And then suggest one little tweak to my technique that made a huge difference.

He was easy to talk to, he never made me feel small or unheard.

His 5 lessons were the only instruction I recieved and I just did 2300 m swim at a 2:10 pace which for me is incredible.

I would highly recommended Eric and Team Triumph!

From treading water to an Olympic Triathlon

A year ago I could only tread water and had not run since childhood. With the amazing Virtual Olympic course, support, guidance, and tips from of all the folks at Team Triumph I've ended the season with my first Olympic distance triathlon under my belt and am hooked! Really looking forward to the 2025 season and even to the hard work over the winter to prepare. Karen Houle

Private Swim Lessons

I wanted to let you know that the Perth triathlon was a great experience, I somehow placed third in my age group! What a supportive group of participants (including Team Triumph athletes), cheering bystanders and volunteers.

Thanks to your swim lessons, I learned the technical basics and gained confidence to get back in the pool after decades. And it was really special doing this with Ann Laidlaw, my bestie for many years. We did a couple of additional swims with Kevin and Team Triumph people, also a great way to continue learning and practicing good technical form.

I will continue with lane swimming and who knows, maybe there's another triathlon in my future!
