A month on from Ironman Wales and we’re still buzzing. Watching so many of you take on the dragon in Tenby was incredible 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Since then, we’ve seen a surge in bookings from those of you who’ve signed up for 2027.

Next September feels a long way off, but the hours you put in over the winter are what’ll get you into that sea feeling calm and ready on race day.

The work starts now. Book your session through the link in bio 💙

Every competition, whether that’s an Ironman, a local triathlon, or a swim, hands you a stack of information about yourself. Most people let it go to waste.

🤔Where did you lose speed?

🤨Where did your technique break down?

🧐Where were the easy gains sitting there, unused?

In short…don’t waste your race.

That data is exactly what our coaches work with. Bring us your splits, your niggles, your “what happened at mile 18” moments, and we’ll get to work. That could mean fixing a stroke that falls apart after lap ten, sorting your sighting so you’re not adding metres to every length, or building the pacing strategy that stops you blowing up in the back half.

Come your next race, you’ll get out of the water faster and with more left for the bike and run.

Tenby is one of the toughest races in the Ironman calendar, and the poor weather added to that.

Regardless of the conditions, the streets were lined with supporters who were cheering, singing, dancing and giving every bit of support that the athletes needed 💪

There’s a reason why people travel across the world to take part in such a gruelling circuit...it’s because nothing (and we mean nothing), beats the spirit, atmosphere and passion of the Welsh crowd 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Well done, llongyfarchiadau to everyone who faced the dragon 🐉

💙 We’re offering all athletes a free swim, all you need to do is DM to book and bring your medal with you.

One coaching session, three different angles: in the water, under the water, above the water.

This is what we’re watching when we’re coaching you at Swim Labs.

From the side, we’re looking at your body position and timing.

Underwater shows us your catch, your kick, where the power’s leaking out.

Above the water is where we watch your breathing and your head position, the stuff that’s easy to miss when you’re the one swimming.

Put all three together, and we can tell you exactly what’s holding your stroke back and what to fix first. That’s the difference a coached session makes. You stop thinking and start training with a plan, your technique gets cleaner, your times come down, and by race day you’re not hoping you’re ready, you KNOW you’re ready.

To some, the thought of spending 12 months training for an Ironman is crazy.

To some, the thought of waking up at 4am to train before work is would never happen.

To some, the thought of sacrificing a weekend to do a long training session is unimagineble.

The mindset of an Ironman, of a triathlete, is different. It’s the willingness to keep showing up and doing the unglamorous work, day after day, long before you ever see the payoff.

We see you grinding in silence, pushing through pain.

3 days out until you meet you come face to face with the dragon, until you meet your potential head on.

Let’s go!
