Matt has been helping my son with his breaststroke, with the aim to reach Nationals. My son admires Matt and finds his coaching incredibly encouraging and useful.

Matt is not only an elite swimmer but also a very professional coach. He used videos to help the swimmer see their moves, giving advices and feedbacks. He is extremely patient and attentive. Very productive lesson overall.

Matt worked with our two boys today. He was absolutely fantastic. I can’t wait to see how his training will have an impact on our boys times. Thank you again Matt

Matt is such a lovely man, and really pays attention to detail. It feels like he genuinely wants the very best for those he coaches.

Matthew was amazing with my kids. He was able to improve their breaststroke technique so much in just 1 hour. The girls loved the session and were engaged the whole time. Thank you so much Matt.
