WHO WE HELP
Contact us via phone and we can discuss your individual goals and work out a plan tailored to your needs.
ADULT LEARN TO SWIM
It is estimated that about 1 in every 3 adults in the United Kingdom lack a basic swimming ability and can’t swim a full length of a pool.
It is never too late to learn and we provide a completely private and safe space for anyone wanting to improve their confidence in the water. We recognise that many people feel embarrassed and very exposed at busy leisure centres where they can be seen.
Our pool is the perfect place to learn as you never swim out of your depth, there are no turns to contend with and at every point your coach is only within a few feet providing the support and reassurance you need.
PATHWAY TO COMPETITIVE SWIMMING
Our pathway to competitive swimming focuses on building confidence, comfort, and safety in the water. Sessions are age-appropriate, engaging, and structured to help young swimmers develop essential skills at their own pace.
Session Focus:
- Breath control and body position
- Floating, kicking, and the introduction of more technical stroke movements
- Building confidence and enjoyment in the water
Success at this stage is measured by comfort, confidence, and foundational skill development, not speed.
COMPETITIVE SWIMMERS
Hydra can identify gains for elite athletes by looking at stroke mechanics, kick rhythm, body alignment and breathing. These are all vital components in increasing propulsion and reducing drag - both of which will help you be faster in the water.
Stroke symmetry analysis can identify left and right hand imbalances, power differences between each arm and the timing of the catch. This is also important to identify overload and prevent future injury.
We use underwater and above water mirrors and strategically placed 4K cameras that record at high frames rates for real time corrections. Unlike pool filming it allows coaches to film continuously without turns interrupting the footage. Coaches can then provide instant feedback, slow motion observations, side by side comparisons and annotations on a large 75’’ screen - you don’t even need to get out of the pool.
Our coaches can observe your stroke at different speeds and test it under load, which is commonly where it breaks down.
Hydra can also be very valuable in race preparation as we can adjust the speed of our pool to your goal time to help with pacing.
You’ll often be given drills to take back to your club for ongoing improvement.
MASTERS
Most Masters swimmers don’t have the time of Age Group Swimmers and are balancing work, family and recovery.
It is therefore imperative to ensure that time spent in the water is productive and doesn’t contribute to injury.
A professional audit of your swim stroke can reduce injury, long time imbalances and help you become far more efficient in the water. Small technical fixes can make a huge difference in speed and energy use.
Hydra can provide measurable changes, comparisons and clear technical goals. We can prepare you for racing or help with the preparation as you embark on your next challenge.
TRIATHLON / OPEN WATER
Underwater stroke analysis provides the necessary tools to assess both the efficiency and length of your freestyle, along with it’s subsequent breakdown as fatigue increases.
This can make all the difference and help you conserve the necessary energy for a strong stint on the bike and run.

CLUB DAYS
Club day hire at our Endless Pool facility (The Lair) allows swimming and triathlon clubs to rent the venue for a dedicated block of time, providing a private, tech-focused environment for stroke analysis and team development.
