Phoenix swim Coach

I did not know that LA Fit even had swimming coaches.  Are you sure you are not refereing to those sales guys pretending to be trainers that sell you a $1200 pre-designed plan that they just put your weight and name on?  If they do have swim coaches, how do you know who they are?  Thought I would ask as you are in the know!

She's just saying that unless you specifically work for LA Fitness, you can't coach there or have someone from outside LA Fitness come in to coach on their premesis.

She's telling him that, because he belongs to LA Fitness and wants to find a coach. (We're assuming he wants the coach to come in to LA Fitness to coach him and it would not be allowed).

Are you looking for one-on-one coaching?  I would think that a Masters' swim program might work for you.  I'm not sure in Glendale has a Masters, but I know Brophy has a Master's group (ages 25 - 92) and there are a few more in Tempe and Scottsdale.

As silly as this may seem, even though I live in Tucson, I use a couch in your neck of the woods.  I don't know how far you are from Scottsdale but I have had an EXCEPTIONAL experience with Camelback Coaching.

Bill and Anne are the coaches and Anne does a great job with the swimming.  I know several folks who come up from Tucson for them.   I found it a great investment.  It has helped me focus my time and energy much better...

Good Luck, Emerson from Catalina (Tucson)

My cost is $150 a month but I get a custom training plan, access to an excellent coach, threshold testing, etc.  When I added up how much time and money I put into this sport.  The cost of a good coach to be effective, reduce injury and enjoy it more has been money well spent.  The annual expense is about what I will spend to do the Big Sur marathon.  And I did seven other races in the last year better with the coaching...

What can I say, I value the time and effort I put into my training.  I read a bunch of books but it was not as good as a coach.  I am a very satisfied customer...

I don't know if he still does individual coaching, but Chris Aikman is a great coach.  He taught me how to swim, and I learned as an adult.  He also coached a friend of mine who also did not know how to swim and now she is a 2x ironman.

He is at Arrowhead Country Club. 

I had a great experience with Bethany from Swimotion. She is based in North West Glendale, 75th Ave near Deer Valley.  She did a underwater video analysis, and it was a ton of help. She's easy to talk to and really interesting.

Here is her info.
