Johnny is a great swim instructor for teaching beginners how to swim. He does not over complicate the process or require a lot of equipment, which has helped ensure my technique will translate to swimming in various scenarios. He also does a great job of providing clear and simple instructions that makes it easy to follow his instructions and pick up each technique. I would highly recommend to anyone serious about developing their swimming technique for racing.

Third Coast Training has taken a data-driven, personalized yet methodical approach to overhauling my swim stroke. Titanium Johnny has set high standards and has given me the tools I need to get there. I am exceedingly grateful he has been able to work with me — a 52 year old guy who is trying to recover an athletic past — in a way that meets my availability and exceeds my expectations. I cannot recommend this training enough.

Working with Johnny over the past month I have improved my swimming greatly. I now have the knowledge to recognizing when something in my swim stroke is off and and the ability to correct it. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a swim coach.

Training for an Ironman 70.3 and was worried about the swim portion. I found Third Coast Training and I had such a great experience! He really breaks every small detail down and does a great job explaining how to make adjustments. I noticed a huge difference on my first session, feeling more confident going into triathlon training!

Went from 0 experience with swimming to being able to swim, without being nervous or scared and have more confidence. Coach Johnny helps really break down the technique of swimming, step by step. Easy to comprehend and execute.

Coach Johnny has been amazing, helping me from the ground up focusing on technique. He videos and voice records and marks up the video and sends it to you to reference for practice swims. Super helpful and his way of describing technique is very beginner friendly! Very nice guy as well would highly recommend

Johnny is a phenomenal coach. He approaches the teaching process from both mental and physical point of view. He got me from being not being able to swim at all to floating comfortably in the water in less than 6 sessions. I highly recommend him as a coach for developing or improving swimming skills for people at all skill levels

When I met Johnny, I could barely swim one 25 yd length. This weekend I completed my first Ironman-2.4 miles in the ocean, and the swim was the easiest part of the day. Highly recommend Third Coast-game changer!

Swim Stroke Analysis
As a self taught swimmer, I have sinking legs issue. In one of the swim sessions, we also found out that I have a neck rotation issue that made me compensate by over-rotating when breathing. Through TCT and Johnny's coaching, I've experienced so much improvement. Definitely a better swimmer now and looking forward to still getting better. Thanks coach for all your help!
