Paul Remmonds: International Swimming Performance Coach
Developing Olympic Medallists and World Champions Through Elite Biomechanics
I am an international swimming coach with over 40 years of experience guiding competitive athletes to Regional, National, International, and Olympic levels.
As a specialist in swimming biomechanics, I balance advanced technical analysis with a supportive coaching style. My approach helps competitive club swimmers, masters swimmers, and triathletes unlock their true speed, build tactical confidence, and maximise race-day execution. Grounded in clear structure, proven training principles, and a science-based approach, including blood lactate profiling. I strive to develop the whole swimmer: recognising that every individual is unique, balancing the demands of sport, work, study, and social life, and fostering a deep, lifelong passion and enjoyment for the sport.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of playing a pivotal role in developing top-tier swimming talent. I helped develop an Olympic Gold medallist, coached World Champion James Hickman, and directly advanced the competitive progress of multiple Olympians - including Tokyo 2020ne Olympic Champion Freya Anderson MBE and Olympic finalist Cassie Wild.
