Swimming has been part of my life for years.

ABOUT / ZAYD ABDULMAJED

I grew up as a competitive swimmer, competing at national level before moving into coaching. More recently, I've competed in triathlon and qualified to represent Great Britain at age-group level.

COMPETING & COACHING

I still train. I still race.

My own swimming and triathlon experience shapes how I coach, particularly when it comes to efficient swimming in open water and preparing for races.

But you don't need to be racing to benefit. I work with adults at different levels, and the goal is always to make the advice useful for the swimmer in front of me.

Good coaching should make sense.

I want people to understand what they’re changing and why. Whether we’re looking at your catch, body position or breathing, you should leave knowing what to focus on.
