Home About Us

At the willesdenrapids, we believe that the best way to improve your swimming is through a holistic approach that combines nutrition, fitness, and personalised coaching. Our team, comprising experts like Navid, a PhD candidate in Clinical Nutrition, and Rafa, a dynamic swimming coach with a competitive background, embodies this philosophy. We understand that each swimmer has unique needs and goals, and we tailor our programs accordingly.

Our holistic approach begins with personalised coaching, which we consider the cornerstone of our training methodology. Rafa, known for his passion and innovative training methods, works closely with each swimmer to refine technique and enhance performance. Whether you're a budding talent, a triathlete, or a national competitor, Rafa's custom-tailored programmes are designed to ignite your passion for swimming and lead you on a transformative journey towards achieving your personal and competitive goals.

In addition to personalised coaching, we place a strong emphasis on nutrition and fitness. Navid, with his extensive background in sports nutrition and clinical research, creates tailored nutrition and exercise plans that address specific health conditions and enhance overall performance. His expertise ensures that each swimmer receives the right dietary guidance to complement their training regimen, promoting health and well-being through evidence-based nutrition strategies.

Our fitness programmes include dryland sessions that focus on building strength, flexibility, and overall fitness. These sessions are designed to support the in-water training by enhancing the swimmer's physical capabilities. The combination of dryland exercises and swimming drills ensures that our athletes develop a well-rounded fitness base, which is crucial for peak performance in the pool.
